    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Volume of square prism = 810 cubic inches

    Height of square prism = 10 inches

    The volume of a square prism has this formula:

    v = a²h

    a = side length of the square prism

    h = height

    810 in³ = a² * 10in

    810 in³ : 10 in = a²

    81 in² = a²

    √81 in² = √a²

    9 in = a

    The length of each side of the base is 9 inches. Only 5 sides of the cardboard box has a cardboard because the 6th side is open.
