Based on the dimensions you provided, the largest cube you could make out of a 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" plywood, accounting for the overlap of the edges, would be 4 cubic feet. In order to calculate this, we can assume that you fold the sheet into six even strips of width 4' (24") and then stack them on top of each other. Additionally, it is important to remember that the overlap of the edges would further decrease the amount of material available for the cube.

To calculate the largest cube that can be made out of a 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" plywood, accounting for overlap of the edges, we need to consider the following factors:

1. The size of the cube: The size of the cube will determine the number of pieces of plywood required and the amount of overlap needed.

2. The thickness of the plywood: The thickness of the plywood will affect the size of the cube that can be made.

3. The overlap of the edges: The overlap of the edges is necessary to ensure a strong and stable structure.

Assuming that we want to make a cube with a side length of 2 feet (24 inches), we can calculate the number of pieces of plywood required and the amount of overlap needed as follows:

1. Number of pieces of plywood required:

To make a cube with a side length of 2 feet, we need to cut four pieces of plywood with a length of 2 feet and a width of 2 feet.

Number of pieces of plywood required = 4

2. Amount of overlap needed:

To ensure a strong and stable structure, we need to overlap the edges of the plywood pieces. Let's assume that we want to overlap the edges by 1 inch.

Overlap per edge = 1 inch

3. Calculating the total area of the plywood required:

The total area of the plywood required is the sum of the area of each piece of plywood plus the area of the overlap.

Area of each piece of plywood = 2 feet x 2 feet = 4 square feet

Area of overlap per edge = 1 inch x 2 feet = 2 square inches

Total area of plywood required = 4 pieces x 4 square feet + 4 pieces x 2 square inches = 16 square feet + 8 square inches

Total area of plywood required = 24 square feet

4. Calculating the size of the largest cube that can be made:

The largest cube that can be made out of a 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" plywood, accounting for overlap of the edges, is determined by the size of the plywood sheet.

The 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" plywood has a total area of:

4 feet x 8 feet = 32 square feet

Since we need 24 square feet of plywood for the cube, we can make a cube with a side length of:

Side length = √(24 square feet / 6 square feet per side)

Side length = √4

Side length = 2 feet

Therefore, the largest cube that can be made out of a 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" plywood, accounting for overlap of the edges, is a cube with a side length of 2 feet.
