Part I
We have the size of the sheet of cardboard and we'll use the variable "x" to represent the length of the cuts. For any given cut, the available distance is reduced by twice the length of the cut. So we can create the following equations for length, width, and height.
width:  w = 12 - 2x
length: l = 18 - 2x
height: h = x

Part II
v = l * w * h
v = (18 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
v = (216 - 36x - 24x + 4x^2)x
v = (216 - 60x + 4x^2)x
v = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x

Part III
The length of the cut has to be greater than 0 and less than half the length of the smallest dimension of the cardboard (after all, there has to be something left over after cutting out the corners). So 0 < x < 6

Let's try to figure out an x that gives a volume of 224 in^3. Since this is high school math, it's unlikely that you've been taught how to handle cubic equations, so let's instead look at integer values of x. If we use a value of 1, we get a volume of:
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*1^3 - 60*1^2 + 216*1
v = 4*1 - 60*1 + 216
v = 4 - 60 + 216
v = 160

Too small, so let's try 2.
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*2^3 - 60*2^2 + 216*2
v = 4*8 - 60*4 + 216*2
v = 32 - 240 + 432
v = 224

And that's the desired volume.
So let's choose a value of x=2.
Reason?
It meets the inequality of 0 < x < 6 and it also gives the desired volume of 224 cubic inches.

How many seconds are there in a month of 30 days express it in scientific notation​
Evgesh-ka [11]
Answer: 2.592 x 10^6 seconds

Explanation:

There are 3600s in 1 hr

And 24hrs in 1 day which mean

There are 3600 x 24 = 86400s in 1 day

And one month = 30 days

86400 x 30 = 2, 592, 000s in 1 month

Write in scientific notation:

2, 592, 000 = 2.592 x 10^6
