An open-top box will be made from a square piece of cardboard of length 26-inch by cutting 2-inch squares from the corners and folding up the sides. Find the volume of the box.
I have no clue how to even start this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you were to draw a diagram of the square piece of cardboard with the 2"-square corners marked in, you would see the the base of the finished box would be a square whose sides are 26" - 2(2") = 26" - 4" = 22"
The height of the finished box would be 2".
To find the volume, you multiply the area of the base (22" X 22") by the height (2").
= 968 cubic inches.
