Answer:

Width is 12 inches and height is 4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the piece of cardboard be = w inches

Then length is = w+12 inches

As given, 4 inch squares are cut from each corner;

So, the width is = w-8 inches

Length is = w+12-8=w+4 inches

When we are folding the cut portion, that gives the height as = 4 inches

The volume is given by : length x width x height

And volume is given as 256 cubic inches

So, 256=(w+4)(w-8)(4)

=> 256=(w^{2}-4w-32)4

=> 64=(w^{2}-4w-32)

=> w^{2} -4w=96

or w^{2} -4w-96=0

=> w^{2} -12w+8w-96=0

=> w(w-12)+8(w-12)=0

We get , (w+8)=0 ; w = -8(neglect the negative value)

(w-12)=0 ; w = 12 inches

And length = 12+12=24 inches

Hence, dimensions are : L = 24 inches ; w = 12 inches and h = 4 inches

We can check by putting these values in equation : 256=(w+4)(w-8)(4)

256=(12+4)(12-8)(4)

=> 256=(16)(4)(4)

=> 256=256
