Answer:
So there are 10 possible molds with different dimension in centimeters, but the volume remain SAME as follows.
[tex]Length, Width, Height\\28,1,1\\1,1,28\\14,2,1\\1,14,2\\1,2,14\\7,4,1\\4,1,7\\7,1,4\\7,2,2\\2,2,7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Molding of a Candle to be done
The shape of a candle to be a rectangular prism,
Volume of rectangular prism = 28 cubic centimeters
To Find:
How many molds can she make = ?
Solution:
Volume of rectangular prism is given as
[tex]\textrm{Volume of rectangular prism}=Length\times Width\times Height[/tex]
It is given,
Volume of rectangular prism = 28 cubic centimeters
We are looking for whole numbers that multiply to 28.
So there are 10 possible molds with different dimension in centimeters, but the volume remain SAME as follows.
[tex]Length, Width, Height\\28,1,1\\1,1,28\\14,2,1\\1,14,2\\1,2,14\\7,4,1\\4,1,7\\7,1,4\\7,2,2\\2,2,7[/tex]
