Question

The Candle Emporium is pouring cylindrical candles. Each candle has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 18 inches. Which formula represents the correct way to find the volume of a candle?

a. Volume= 5x18
b. Volume= pi (5) (18)
c. Volume= pi (18)squared (5)
d. Volume= pi (5)squared (18)

Answer 1

Hello!

The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is
`V = \pi r ^(2)h`. The answer choice that matches this is answer choice D. Hope I helped! :3

Answer 2

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

We are given,

Height of the candles, h = 18 inches

Radius of the candles, r = 5 inches

Candles are in shape of cylinder.

We have to find correct representation of volume of candle.

Volume of cylinder =
`\pi r^2h`

Volume of candle = ]tex]\pi (5)^2\times18[/tex]

Therefore, Option D is correct.
