Amachine produces open boxes using square sheets of metal. the machine cuts equal-sized squares measuring 2 inches on a side from the corners and then shapes the metal into an open box by turning up the sides. if each box must have a volume of 162 cubic inches, find the length and width of the open box.

width  9''    length 9''

Step-by-step explanation:

2 " is cut off from both sides

so the base of the box will be a square  

area * height = volume of box  

side = x

height =2  

2x^2=162  

x^2=81

x=9 inches  the side of the box

Volume =162

V=area*height      V= 81*2= 162

step-by-step explanation:

circumference divided by 3.141592654 then timesthe radius twice
