A polynomial that represents the volume of the Amazon box is; V(x) = x³ - 6x² + 5x

<h3>How to calculate the volume of a box</h3>

Length of box = x
Width of the box is 4 inches less than the length. Thus; width = x - 4
Height is said to be 1 inch less than the width. Thus; height = x - 4 - 1 = x - 5

Now, the formula for volume of a box is;

V = length × width × height

Thus;

V = x • (x - 1) • (x - 5)

V = x(x² - x - 5x + 5)

V = x(x² - 6x + 5)

V(x) = x³ - 6x² + 5x

In conclusion, the polynomial that represents the volume of the Amazon box is V(x) = x³ - 6x² + 5x

First, you need to draw this out. Roughly, it should look a little something like the link i included in this answer. then u just draw a line tracing the points to make a rectangle (sandbox) and decide that the perimeter, or the distance around, would be 3+4+3+4 = 14 feet.
