Question 1040774
.
A square has side length: 5 cm. Corners of length 1 cm are cut to make a box with open top. 
What is the volume of that box? 
What is the surface area of that box?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The dimensions of the box are 3 x 3 cm at the base and 1 cm height.


Hence, the volume is 3*3*1 = . . . (?) cubic centimeters.


The surface area (the outer surface area) is 3*3 + 4*3*1 = . . . (?) square centimeters.


The sign (?) means "calculate on your own".
