The sides of the rectangular sheet of paper are in the ratio 8 : 15.
Let the sides of the rectangular sheet of paper be 8k and 15k respectively.
Let x be the side of the square which is removed from the comers of the sheet of paper.
The total area of removed squares is 4x , which is given to be 100.
Now, the length, breadth, and height of the rectangular box are 15k – 2x, 8k – 2x, and x respectively.
Let V be the volume of the box.
Since, volume is maximum when the square of side x = 5 is removed from the corners,
Hence, the lengths of the rectangular sheet are 24 and 45.
