Question

The Candle Factory is producing a new candle. It has a radius of 3 inches and a height of 5 inches. What is the

surface area of the candle? Use 3.14 for F. Round to the nearest whole cubic inch.
r= 3 in.
h = 5 in.

Answer 1

`A=150.72\ in^2`

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of candle, r = 3 inches

The height of the candle, h = 5 inches

We need to find the surface area of the candle. It is in the form of a cylinder whose surface area is given by :

`A=2\pi r(r+h)`

Put all the values,

`A=2* 3.14* 3* (3+5)\\\\A=150.72\ in^2`

So, the surface area of the candle is equal to
`150.72\ in^2`.
