    Geometric measurement
    Anita wants to make a mold for a candle. She wants the shape of the candle to be a rectangular prism with a volume of exactly 28 cubic centimeters. She wants the sides to be in whole centimeters. How many different molds can she make? If she decides the molds should have a square base, how many of the possible molds can she use?

    What's your answer? We won't do your homework for you, you have to do the work, put in the effort. We will critique your work, but you have to put in the work, not us.

    Post your answer, your equation, and we'll take a look and let you know where you went wrong, if you went wrong. But really, this is your work, not ours, so do it. We won't be there to answer questions during your tests.

    One trick to this to remember - I think you can assume that the width and depth of the base are interchangeable. For example a candle that has a base of 1 x 4 is the same as a candle that has base 4 x 1, so only one mold is needed to cover both. List out the dimensions of the molds you think she needs, and we'll check it for you.
