The length of the box made by Mr. Baker is 10-inch

Mr. Baker has strip of 48- inch long oak, by this strip he is making the rectangle box of width 14-inch.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

The rectangle is 4 sided geometric shapes whose opposites are equal in lengths and all angles are about 90°.

As Mr. Baker has a strip that is 48-inch long and he made a rectangle box with it.

The width of the box = 14 inches
now the length of the box = (total length of the strip - 2* width of the box)/2
⇒ length of the box = (48 - 2*14)/2
⇒ length of the box = 10 inches
