As in Exercise 39, find the volume of the box if four congruent squares with sides of length 6 in. are cut from the corners of a rectangular piece of poster board that is 20 in. wide by 30 in. long.

Kristine creates an open box by cutting congruent squares from the four corners of a square piece of cardboard that has a length of 24 in. per side. If the congruent squares that are removed have sides that measure 6 in. each, what is the volume of the box formed by folding and sealing the flaps?

Chapter 9.1, Problem 40E, As in Exercise 39, find the volume of the box if four congruent squares with sides of length 6 in.

To determine

To find:

The volume of the box if four congruent squares with sides of length 6 in. are cut from the corners of a rectangular piece of poster board that is 20 in. wide by 30 in. long.

Explanation

Concept:

The volume of any solid is the region of space occupied by it and in general the volume of a solid is given by the product of its base area and altitude.

For a regular solid prism with base area B and altitude h, the volume is given by the formula

V=Bh.

Calculation:

Given,

Length of the square piece of the poster board =30 in

Width of the square piece of the poster board 20 in

The measure of the congruent squares that are removed from the four corners 6 in.

Since, the flaps are folder are folded the length of the flap (6 in.) become the height of the box formed.

Also, the length and width of the base of the box is given by subtracting the length of the square piece which are removed from the length and width of the poster board respectively.

Thus, the dimensions of the box is

l=30-6+6=30-12=18 in
