A 14 by 10 cm piece of plastic has a 2 cm square cut out of each corner. The sides were folded up to form an open box

Volume = L * W * H
Since you have 14x10 with a 2 cm square cut out of each corner, you have a sort of very squat fat cross that is 10 cm across (14-2-2) and 6 cm down (10-2-2) and then you fold up the sides and have a height of 2 cm
So your volume is 10 cm * 6 cm * 2 cm = 120 cm^3

You're cutting 4 cm out of each side, so when you fold it up, the dimensions will be 10 by 6 by 2. 10 * 6 * 2 = 120 cm^3

If you cut 2 cm out of each corner the remaining bottom of the box is 10 by 6 or 60 cm. squared. It is 2cm high so 120 cc.

2 cm out of each corner, the existing sides now have 4 cm less than before.
Sides folded up, 2 cm high
10 by 6 by 2, figure it out from there
