Sandra is making an open-top box using a sheet of 11 in. x 14 in. cardboard. The sheet must be folded so that the box has a volume of 35 in3. What is the approximate side length for the squares she will cut from each corner of the sheet of cardboard? 0.125 in.
0.25 in
1 in.
1.75 in.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

where does the z at is it on the x axes or on the y axes any way if it is on the y axes put it horizontally and if it is on the x axes put it vertically
