A sheet of cardboard 6 ft. by 7 ft. will be made into a box by cutting
\n" ); document.write( " equal-sized 16 INCH x 16 INCH squares from each corner and folding up the four edges.
\n" ); document.write( "What will be the volume (in Cubic Feet) of the box?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let do this in inches:
\n" ); document.write( "Width 6 * 12 = 72\"
\n" ); document.write( "Length 7* 12 = 84'
\n" ); document.write( "Height = 16\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Cutting the 16\" squares will reduce the length and width by 32'
\n" ); document.write( "72 - 32 = 40\" the box width
\n" ); document.write( "84 - 32 = 52\" the box length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the volume
\n" ); document.write( "40 * 52 * 16 = 33,280 cu/inches
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change to cu/ft (1728 cu/in in 1 cu/ft)
\n" ); document.write( "\"33280%2F1728\" = 19.26 cu/ft is the vol of the box \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
