Given:

Number of boxes of cards = 25

Measure of each box = 1 in³

Let's find the possible dimensions of the case.

A box has the following:

Length(L), Width(W), Height(H).

Thus, the dimensions of a box are written as: L x W x H

To find the dimensions of this case, let's find the prime factorizetions of 25.

We have:

5 x 5

Thus, all possible dimensions of the case are:

5 x 5 x 1

25 x 1 x 1

ANSWER:


\begin{gathered} 5\ast5\ast1 \\ \\ 25\ast1\ast1 \end{gathered}
