Question

A candelabra holds 5 identical cylindrical candles, each with a diameter of 6 centimeters and a height of 9 centimeters. How many cubic centimeters of wax are in all the candles on the candelabra combined?

Answer 1

Explanation:

one candle volume = area of base (circle) × height

V=r²πh

V=6²×π×9

=36cm²×π×9cm²

=351π cm³

≈1017.36 cm³

then multiply by 5 because there are 5 candles

= 5×351π cm³ = 1755 cm³

≈ 5510.7 cm³
