Answer:

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
