The number of cylindrical candles of 15cm height and 10cm diameter to be made from 4500[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] of wax is : 3.81 approximately 4
A cylinder is a solid geometrical shape with two parallel sides and two oval or circular cross-sections.
Analysis:
Given data:
Volume of wax = 4500[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]
Diameter of candle = 10cm
Radius of candle = diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5cm
Height of candle = 15cm
Volume of each cylindrical candle = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]h
Volume of each cylindrical candle = [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x [tex](5)^{2}[/tex] x 15 = [tex]\frac{8250}{7}[/tex][tex]cm^{3}[/tex]
Volume of wax = n x volume of each cylindrical candle
n = number of candles
n = [tex]\frac{volume of wax}{volume of each cylindrical candle}[/tex]
n = [tex]\frac{4500}{\frac{8250}{7} }[/tex] = 3.81 approximately 4
In conclusion, the number of cylindrical candles to be made from 4500 cubic centimeters wax is 4.
