From each corner of a square sheet of side 20 cm, a square of side 4 cm is cut off, and the four flaps left are folded up to form an open box. Find the volume of the box in cm³.

Question

Accepted Answer

576. Removing 4 cm from both ends of each side leaves a base of (20 − 8) × (20 − 8) = 12 × 12 cm, and the folded flaps give a height of 4 cm. Volume = 12 × 12 × 4 = 576 cm³.
