    Step-by-step explanation:

    volume of the container = 3*2*1 * 108 = 648

    = width base * length base * height base

    = width base ^2 * length base

    have length base < 36

    -> width base^2 > 648/36 = 18

    -> width base^2 = 36 or 324 or 81

    -> width base = 6 or 18 or 9

    length base = 18 or 2 or 8

    dimension = 6 6 18 or 18 18 2 or 9 9 8
