height = 20
side length = 36/4 = 9
volume = 9*9*20 cm^3
top = 81 cm^2
bottom = 81 cm^2
81 * 2 = 162 cm^2
The shorter edges of a 36 cm x 20 cm metalsheet are joined to form the vertical surfaces of a square base prism. What is the volume of the prism? what is the area of metal sheet required to make the top and the bottom of the prism.

Hmmm. Hard to see.
The length is 36 and the width is 20.
If the height of the box is x, then the base would be 18-x. With the other edge width=20, I don't see how the base can be square.

I think it is just folded three times so the short edges can be welded together. No top and bottom yet
