Question
You are making kits with 25 cubic inches of candle wax along with a mold. You have a square base, and you want to make a pyramid candle. The height of the pyramid should be 2 inches shorter than the edge of the base.
Given this, what should be the dimensions of the mold? Thanks in advance

V = 1/3 Bh
If the base has side x, then we see that h=x-2, so
1/3 x^2(x-2) = 25
You can solve the cubic, but it's easier just to note that
5*5*3 = 75
