    Corrected question;

    Mary wants to make a box. She starts with a piece of cardboard whose length is 15 centimeters and width is 10 centimeters. Then she cuts 4 congruent squares with sides of 3 centimeters at the four corners and folded at the broken lines to make the box. What is the volume of the box?

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The volume of a box V is;

    V = length * breadth * height

    V = l*b*h ... 1

    Length l of the box that would be formed after cutting squares with sides 3 cm from the edges of a cardboard of length 15 cm is;

    l = 15 - 2 (3) = 9 cm

    Breadth b of the box that would be formed after cutting squares with sides 3 cm from the edges of a cardboard of breadth 10 cm is;

    b = 10 - 2 (3) = 4 cm

    Height of the box is the length of the squares cut;

    h = 3 cm

    Substituting the values into equation 1;

    V = 9 * 4 * 3 cm^3

    V = 108 cm^3

    the volume of the box is 108 cm^3
