Jared has a rectangular storage box that has a height of 18 inches and a base that measures 10 inches on each side. If he cuts off a 2 inch strip around the top of the box, what is the new volume?

Question

$$V=lwh$$ The length and width are both equal to 10 inches, so it's really a square.  Since Jared cut 2 inches off the top of each side, then the height is really 18-2=16, so
$$V=(10)(10)(16)$$

You're welcome. When in doubt, try to draw a picture. Sometimes it helps when you have a visual to look at.
