Math Problem Statement
A 13 ft. by 4 ft. piece of plywood is being used to build an open-top box The box is formed by making equal sized square cutouts from two corners of the plywood at the ends of one of the 13-foot sides. After these squares are discarded, three more cuts are made and these pieces are "folded up" and secured to create three of the four vertical sides. When the open side is placed against a wall, the open top box is formed. What is an expression that defines a function h which determines the volume of the box in terms of the length x of the side of the square cutout?
