How to make an empty box
I am making a sheet where people can fill in answers of various types. For this I would like to make some boxes of certain width and height. How can this best be done? I use fbox when I want to box a box around some text, but now I need to make a box with given dimensions.
I did noticed the question What are the different kinds of boxes in (La)TeX? but don't quite see the answer there.

You can use framebox(200,300){} where the size is given in multiples of unitlength, defaulting to 1pt.

Surprised no one has mentioned this. Latex has feature specifically for questions and answers:
% allow for answer boxes:
documentclass[12pt]{exam}
printanswers
usepackage{amsmath}
begin{document}
begin{enumerate}
% questions can be list items
item (Problem 7 S 2.1)\
Evaluate the following expression using Euclid's algorithm (2.1.3). (textbf{Write each step down for credit})
[gcd(98, 35)]
% make an answer box
begin{solutionorbox}[2in] \
$98mod 35 = 28$ \
$35mod 28 = 7$ \
$28mod 7 = 0$ \
$gcd(98, 35) = 7$
end{solutionorbox}
end{enumerate}
end{document}
