The 4 11/16 in. x 1 1/2 in. square box corresponds to which type of box?

• A. Octagon Box
• B. Round Box
• C. Square Box
• D. Rectangular Box

Answer: (C)

Box type is determined by the shape of its base. A square base means length and width are the same; a rectangular base means length and width differ. The two measurements shown—4 11/16 inches and 1 1/2 inch—are not equal, so the base is rectangular, not square. If a square box were intended, those dimensions would have to match. The mismatch suggests a possible misprint in the problem. Based on standard definitions, the given measurements describe a rectangular box.
