Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
About 36.9 cubic inches
A circular pillar candle can be modeled by the following cylinder.
The height of the cylinder is h= 6 inches. Since the diameter of the base is 2.8 inches, the radius of the cylinder is r= 2.82= 1.4 inches. We are asked to the volume of the candle. Let's do it using the formula for the volume of a cylinder!
r= 1.4, h= 6
