Question 10214
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").

{{{V = (22)(22)(2)}}} = 968 cubic inches.
