Solution

Sure, here are the steps to find the volume of the box:

  1. First, we need to find the new dimensions of the paper sheet after the squares are cut off. Since a square of 4 cm is cut off from each corner, the length and width of the paper will both be reduced by 8 cm (4 cm from each side). So, the new dimensions are 24 cm - 8 cm = 16 cm and 13 cm - 8 cm = 5 cm.

  2. Now, we can imagine folding up the cut paper to form the box. The cut-off squares will form the height of the box, which is 4 cm.

  3. The volume of a box (or a rectangular prism) is found by multiplying its length, width, and height. So, the volume of the box is 16 cm * 5 cm * 4 cm = 320 cubic cm.
