Answer:
The volume of the candle is [tex]147\ in^{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The volume of a cylinder (candle) is equal to
[tex]V=\pi r^{2} h[/tex]
we have
[tex]r=5/2=2.5\ in[/tex] ----> the radius is half the diameter
[tex]h=7.5\ in[/tex]
substitute
[tex]V=\pi (2.5)^{2} (7.5)[/tex]
[tex]V=46.875\p\ in^{3}[/tex]
assume
[tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]
[tex]V=46.875(3.14)=147\ in^{3}[/tex]
