The height of the box becomes x, and each side is reduced by 2x. Therefore the volume is given by V = x(80-2x)(80-2x) because the original length and width are both 80.

An open box is to be made from a flat piece of material 11 inches long and 5 inches wide by cutting equal squares of length x from the corners and folding up the sides.
Write the volume Vof the box as a function of x. Leave it as a product of factors, do not multiply out the factors.
