A box with no top is to be constructed from a piece of cardboard whose length measures 10in. more than its width. The box is to be formed by cutting squares that measure 3 in. on each side from the four corners and then folding up the sides. If the volume of the box will be 33^3 in. what are the dimensions of the piece of cardboard?
