: You are an engineer for a company that produces shipping boxes. The boxes that are made on one machine are all in
the shape of a cube. As the demand for different size boxes changes you need to be able to change the setting on the
machine so you can vary the side length of the cube shaped box. Draw a picture of a cube and label the cube’s side
length, s.
Prior to placing your order for more cardboard, tape, packing material, etc. your boss asked you to determine each of
the following:
a. Write an expression to determine the surface area of a cube-shaped box, S4, in terms of its side length, s (in
inches).
