Answer 2

Volume of wax for 210 candles=18463.2 cubic inches

Explanation:

Each wax candle has a cylindrical shape with

• Radius of candle, r =2

• Height of candle, h =7

Number of candles to be made=210

Volume of one wax candle =π ×
`r^(2)` × h

=π ×
`2^(2)` × 7

=3.14×4×7

=87.92 cubic inches

Volume of 210 wax candles=210×87.92

=18,463.2 cubic inches
