Answer:

[tex] 15,260.4 \: {in}^{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of candle = 3 inches

Height of candle = 2 inches

Wax needed to make one candle = Volume of one cylindrical candle

[tex] =\pi r^2 h[/tex]

[tex] =3.14(3)^2 (2)[/tex]

[tex] =56.52\: in^3 [/tex]

Volume of wax needed to make 270 candles

[tex] = 270 \times wax\: needed \: to\:make \: one \: candle \\ \\ = 270 \times 56.52 \\ \\ = 15,260.4 \: {in}^{3} [/tex]
