Question

Robert is pouring wax into cylindrical candle containers. Approximately 226.19 cubic inches of wax fill one candle jar. Which image represents that volume?

A cylinder with height 8 inches and radius 3 inches.
A cylinder with height 5 inches and radius 4 inches.
A cylinder with height 10 inches and radius 2 inches.
A cylinder with height 5 inches and radius 5 inches.

Answer 1

Answer: It a

Explanation:

Answer 2

The first choice.

Explanation:

The volume must be about 226.19 in^3.

Volume of a cylinder = area of base * height4

= πr^2h = 226.19

r^2 = 226.19 / πh.

Consider the first of the choices:-

When h = 8 , r^2 = 226.19 /8π = 8.9998

So r = 3.00 to nearest hundredth.

So this is the required image.
