Find the volume of a box with a height that is 4 inches less than the length and a width equal to the length. Let x represent the length of the
box. (Formula for volume of a rectangular prism: V equals L times W
times H where L is length, W is width, H is height of the rectangular
prism)

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

V = L × W × H

Where,

V = volume of the rectangular prism

L= Length

W = Width

H = Height

volume of the rectangular prism = length × width × height

Length = x

Width= length = x

Height = x - 4

V = L × W × H

= x * x * (x - 4)

= x^2 (x - 4)

= x^3 - 4x^2

V = x^3 - 4x^2

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
