  We present an analysis of soft X-ray (SXR) and extreme-ultraviolet (EUV)
observations of solar flares with an approximate C8 GOES class. Our constraint
on peak GOES SXR flux allows for the investigation of correlations between
various flare parameters. We show that the the duration of the decay phase of a
flare is proportional to the duration of its rise phase. Additionally, we show
significant correlations between the radiation emitted in the flare rise and
decay phases. These results suggest that the total radiated energy of a given
flare is proportional to the energy radiated during the rise phase alone. This
partitioning of radiated energy between the rise and decay phases is observed
in both SXR and EUV wavelengths. Though observations from the EVE show
significant variation in the behavior of individual EUV spectral lines during
different C8 events, this work suggests that broadband EUV emission is well
constrained. Furthermore, GOES and AIA data, allow us to determine several
thermal parameters (e.g. temperature, volume, density, and emission measure)
for the flares within our sample. Analysis of these parameters demonstrate
that, within this constrained GOES class, the longer duration solar flares are
cooler events with larger volumes capable of emitting vast amounts of
radiation. The shortest C8 flares are typically the hottest events, smaller in
physical size, and have lower associated total energies. These relationships
are directly comparable with several scaling laws and flare loop models.
