Use 3.14 for pie, and do not round your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

18,086.4 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of one such cylinder can be computed by multiplying the height by pi by the radius squared: 3×3.14×4²=150.72.

If you want to make 120 candles, multiply that number by 120: 150.72×120=18086.4.
