    V=x (19-2x) (3-2x)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The flat piece of material is 19Inches Long and 3 Inches Wide.

    If we cut a square if length x from each corner:

    Length if the Box=19-x-x=19-2x

    Width if the Box=3-x-x=3-2x

    The flap that will be folded up will be the height.

    Therefore, Height of the Box = x inches.

    Volume of a cuboid=lwh

    Therefore the volume of the box will be:

    V=x (19-2x) (3-2x)
