Please help.
Brick:
Shape - rectangular prism
Base - dimensions can vary, but it must be a square
Height - 1 cm less than the side length of the base
1. Create a labeled diagram of the Brick. Use x to represent the length of a side of the base of the candle. Then write an equation for the volume of the candle in terms of x. Write the polynomial in standard form. So I understand that the diagram is the rectangular prism. I just don't understand where to put the lengths and such.
