let us assume y*y is the square cut at four corners.

After making open box let us assume x*x is base area and y is the height.

volume=x*x*y=128

so possibilities are :

1)8*8*2 => initial side =8+2+2 = 12

2)4*4*8 => initial side = 4+8+8 = 20

3)2*2*32 => initial side =2+32+32=66

so, answer is D.

all the answers are wrong it is 12

len * breadth * height must be 128

len = breadth since it is a square plot..

hence height = 2

len = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12 cm
