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.
:
After removing the 2" squares on the corners:
length and width = 26 - 4 = 22"
Height = 2"
;
vol = 22 * 22 * 2 = 968 cu/in
