Answer
Given:
Length of the sheet = 32 cm
Breadth of the sheet = 26 cm
Side of square = 3 cm
Inner length of the sheet = 32 - 3 - 3 cm = 26 cm
Inner breadth of the sheet = 26 - 3 - 3 cm = 20 cm
Height of the container (equal to the side of the square) = 3 cm
Volume of container = l x b x h
= 26 x 20 x 3 cm3
= 1,560 cm3
Hence, the volume of the container is 1,560 cm3.
