Let x = the length of the side of the square box.
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of the box (L*W*h) can be expressed as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"V+=+x%2Ax%2A8\"$ Substitute the given volume of V = 9248
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9248+=+8x%5E2\"$ Divide both sides by 8.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1156+=+x%5E2\"$ Take the square root of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+34\"$ cm \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
