We can consider such a box as a larger box [x cm by x cm by x cm] substract a smaller box [(x-2)cm by (x-4)cm by (x-4)cm]
Hence,
(the volume of wood used) = (the vloume of the bigger box) - (the vloume of the smaaler box)
8072 = x^3 - (x-2)(x-4)^2
8072 = x^3 - (x-2)(x^2-8x+16)
8072 = x^3 - (x^3-8x^2+16x-2x^2+16x-32)
10x^2 - 32x- 8040 = 0
2(5x^2 - 16x- 4020) = 0
2(5x+134)(x-30)=0
x=30, -26.8(rejected as -ve)
So the length of the external edge is 30cm

Let length = x cm,

x^3 - (x-2)(x-4)^2 = 8072
x^3 - (x-2)(x^2-8x+16) = 8072
x^3 - (x^3-8x^2+16x-2x^2+16x-32) = 8072
10x^2 - 32x- 8040 = 0
x = (32+(32^2-4*10*(-8040))^0.5)/(2*10) or (32-(32^2-4*10*(-8040))^0.5)/(2*10)
= 30 or -26.8 (rej.)
