the height of the candle is 13cm and the circumference of the candle is 31.416cm. to the nearest centimeter how much wax is needed to make another candle
This is the concept of volumes of solid materials, to get the amount of wax needed to make the candle we will require to calculate for the volume of the candle. volume=πr^2h since we are given the circumference of the candle we need to get the radius first; C=πd C=31.416 cm 31.416=πd d=31.416/π d=10.0000 cm Therefore the radius will be 5 cm. The volume of the wax required to make the candle will be: V=πr^2h V=π*5^2*13 V=1,021.02 cm^3
Divide the circumference by pi NOT 3.14 which you get 10 signifying that the radius is 5 then you use the CONE FORMULA (v=1/3(5)^2(13) which gives you 340 cm
