This math topic focuses on creating quadratic expressions to determine the volume of a box formed by cutting and folding a rectangular sheet of cardboard. Each problem provides a different size of the original sheet and varies the amount cut from each side. Students must select the correct formula for the volume of the box based on these dimensions. This task reinforces understanding of quadratic relationships and applies them to solve real-world geometric problems involving volume.
