HELP PLEASE

Leigh bought a conical candle wax mold. The height of the mold is 16.5 inches and the radius of the inside of the top of the conical
mold is 2.4 inches. She fills the mold completely with candle wax so that it is level with the top of the conical mold.
Using 3.14 for , approximately how much candle wax can the conical mold hold?
A. 41.45 cubic inches
B. 124.34 cubic inches
C. 99.48 cubic inches
D. 43.41 cubic inches

Answer 1

Formula for volume of cone;

V = 1/3π
`r^(2)`h

Plug in what you know:-

V = 1/3π
`r^(2)`

will be

V = 1/3(3.14) · 2.4^2 · 16.5

Simplify and solve,

V = 1/3(3.14) · 5.76 · 16.5

V = 1.05 · 5.76 · 16.5

V = 6.05 · 16.5

V = 99.825, your answer is C; 99.48 cubic inches.
