a rectangle box has a square base. its height is half the width of the base. find a function that models its volume V in terms of its width W.
sides of the base are w and w since it is a square base
height is half the width = 1/2 * w
Volume of a box is given by the formula length * width * height
volume = ---------------------------------w * w * 1/2 *w
volume = 1/2 * w^3 cubic units
