Fed Ex Express: 130 in.
UPS: 165 in.
My first chart was for Fed Ex Express. My box design was a square face in which w=h. How i generalized it was when my total was 130 my width and height was x. To find the length i would have to find girth first because total minus the girth equals the length. Since my box design is a square face all the sides had to be equal. So i founded that the girth was 4x. So my length is (130-4x). Now i had to find the volume expression. My volume expression is =(130-4x)(x)(x) because length times width times height equals the volume.
My second chart was for UPS. My box design for that was also a square face so i had to repeat the same steps i used for the first chart to generalize. I started off with x. My total was 165. My girth was also 4x. The width and height would be x because its equal to whatever number i used. I found that my length was (165-4x). My volume expression is =(165-4x)(x)(x).
In conclusion i founded that as the number me and my teammates used gets smaller the maximum and minimum volume increases.

Good first paragraph about generalization. You should explain a little more why your width and height were x. Also, You need to explain the "total" of 130 and 165 to the readers. Remember that your readers may not know anything about this project and it's your job to explain it to them.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by, "i founded that as the number me and my teammates used gets smaller the maximum and minimum volume increases?"
