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?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]1272.51\ cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

diameter of each candle is [tex]d=6\ cm[/tex]

The height of each candle is  [tex]h=9\ cm[/tex]

The volume of a cylinder is [tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]

The volume of each candle is

[tex]\Rightarrow V=\pi \times 3^2\times 9\\\Rightarrow V=254.502\ cm^3[/tex]

For 5 candles it is

[tex]\Rightarrow 5V=1272.51\ cm^3[/tex]

Total wax used for 5 candles is [tex]1272.51\ cm^3[/tex]
