The candle has the shape of a cylinder with height H=6 in, and radius of the circular base R= (2.8)/2 =1.4 (in).
The volume of the cylinder is Area(base)*height =

(in cubed)
According to Cavalieri's principle, the volume of the candle is equal to the volume of the cylinder we described.
Answer: 37 in cubed
let l = lance, and a = alex.
so: l + a = 70
and l = 4a
Putting the value for l in the first equation:
4a +a = 70
5a = 70
a = 14.
So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.
And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.
We shall first of all, convert all the numbers to the same base. This means we either;
Convert the fractions to decimals OR
Convert the decimals to fractions
Let us therefore convert the decimals to fractions.
