A cone shaped candle is 32 centimeters tall. It took close to 1,205.76 cubic centimeters of wax to make the candle. What is the radius of the cone shaped candle? Use 3.14 for π.

a. Sketch and label a diagram to represent the candle.

b. Substitute the known measures into the volume formula.
Volume = 1 2h 3
≈ (1)()2()

c. Simplify the right side of the equation. 22

d. Solve for .

e. Solve for r. Take the square root of both
sides of the equation.

f. What is the length of the radius of the candle?

g. Use the radius from Step f, the height of the candle and 3.14 for π and recalculate the volume of the candle to verify your solution is correct.
