a company makes wax candles in the shape of a cylinder. each candle has a diameter of 4 inches and a height 8 of inches. if the company used of wax, how many candles did it make? use for , and do not round your answer.



Answer :

If the company has made 6732.16 in³ wax , Total number of candles made is 67

According to the question,

It is given that a wax candle is in cylindrical shape

Diameter of candle = 4 in

Radius will be = 4 / 2

=> 2 in

Height of each candles = 8 in

Company has used 6732.16 in³ of wax

We have to calculate number of candles company has made

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Where r is radius and h is height

Substituting all the values,

Volume of candle = π (2)² (8)

=> V = 3.14 × 4 × 8   (putting π = 3.14)

=> V = 100.48

Therefore , Number of candles made = Total volume /volume of one candles

=> 6732.16 / 100.48

=> 67 candles are made by company
