What are the dimensions of the open box? Hint: Since the base is a square, why not call its dimension x by x.
What is the dimension of the top?
What is the dimension of the left side? The right side?
How about the dimension of the back side?

I am sure that you know the answer to some of these! Post back with your answers.
