Question

a candle is in the shape of a cylinder. The candle has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 5 inches, what is the volume of the candle

Answer 1

exact: V = 45pi in.^3

approximate: V = 141.4 in.^3

Explanation:

V = (pi)r^2h

r = d/2 = 6 in./2 = 3 in.

V = (pi) * (3 in.)^2 * 5 in.

V = 45pi in.^3

V = 141.4 in.^3
