Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

The sheet initially measures 3 X % units.

To make a cube, the we cut x units from each side. so the new length is 5-2x while the width is 3-2x

The height is x

The formula for culculating volume is LxWxH

the volume is thus given by (3-2x)(5-2x)(x)

the volume is thus 15x-16x^2+4x^3

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
