Conclusion When I began this take of trying to find out the maximum length of rectangles in different my initial task was simply to find a formula to relate to the rectangles. To solve the problem I used computer programmes such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word to present the data and my findings. I initially chose to work with squares 8x8, 9x9, 13x13, and 25x25 for the simple fact that I was looking for some connection between all types of squares. When I used the computer I headed my columns on my spreadsheets as follows: Side1 (length), Side2 (width), Cut out, Length, Width, Height, Volume. I used these in this order to try and determine the formula and maximum cut out length for each type of square and rectangle. To work out different volumes I used different formulas. I worked out these formulae by simple trial and error. This did take some time...
