Detailed Solution

Let sides of rectangular be 8x, 5x and side of removed square be y.

$V = (8 x - 2 y) (5 x - 2 y) y V = 40 x^{2} y - 26 x y^{2} + 4 y^{3} \frac{d V}{d y} = 40 x^{2} - 52 x y + 12 y^{2} 4 y^{2} = 4 \Rightarrow y = 1 \frac{d V}{d y} = 0 \Rightarrow x = y, \frac{3}{10} y \frac{d^{2} V}{d y^{2}} = - 52 x + 24 y \frac{d^{2} V}{d y^{2}} < 0 @ x = y S i d e s a r e 8 y, 5 y .$
