Answer:
-Amy
-The candle will fit.
Step-by-step explanation:
-The candle has a circular base of area [tex]19.625\ in^2[/tex]
-The area of a circle is given by the formula:
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
#We substitute the candle's base area in the formula to solve for the bowl's radius;
[tex]A=\pi r^2\\\\19.625=\pi r^2\\\\\\r=\sqrt{\frac{19.625}{\pi}}\\\\=2.499a\approx 2.5\ inches[/tex]
The candle has a base radius of approximately 2.5 inches which is equivalent to the bowl's radius.
Hence, Amy is correct and yes, the candle will fit as it is approximately of similar radius.
