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?
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.
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
Calculation:
Given,
Length of the square piece of the poster board
Width of the square piece of the poster board
The measure of the congruent squares that are removed from the four corners
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
