A square plate of some size is cut at four corners. Equal squares of the same size are cut and is formed as open box.If this open box carries 128 ml of oil. What is the size of the side of the plate?

• 10 or 12 units
  
  If side of square cut at corner= y & remaining length of a side of a plate=x
  Total length of a side of a square plate= x+y
  The dimensions of a box formed are length=x,breadth=x, height=y
  So volume of a box=x*x*y=x^2*y=128
  With two possible solutions,x=8,y=2 or x=4,y=8
  So side of a square plate=x+y=10 or 12
