Asked by Franz

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
Answered by Steve
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
