Which is a larger volume, a candle with a height of 6.3 inches and a radius of 3.1 inches or a candle with both a height and a radius of 3.9 inches ?

Respuesta :

STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

The larger volume.

Given:

Candle A

Height (h) = 6.3

radius (r) = 3.1

Candle B

Height(h) = 3.9

radius (r) = 3.9

Step 1

Recall the volume of a cylinder formula

[tex]V=\pi r^2h[/tex]

Step 2

Determine the volume for A

[tex]\begin{gathered} V(A)=\pi\times(3.1)^2\times6.3 \\ \\ \approx190.20\text{ in}^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 3

Determine the volume for B

[tex]\begin{gathered} V(B)=\pi\times(3.9)^2\times3.9 \\ \\ \approx186.36\text{ in}^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the candle with the larger volume is candle A.

ANSWER

The candle with the larger volume is :

a candle with a height of 6.3 inches and a radius of 3.1 inches
