Answer 2

The volume of candle holder is 30 inches cubed.

Explanation:

Given,

Area of base = A = 15 square inches

Height of candle holder = H = 6 inches

As the holder is in shape of triangular pyramid, therefore,

Volume of candle holder =
`(1)/(3)AH`

Volume of candle holder =
`(1)/(3)*15*6`

Volume of candle holder =
`(90)/(3)=30\ in^3`

The volume of candle holder is 30 inches cubed.
