An oblique candle with a volume of 270 cubic centimeters is 18 centimeters tall. The width of the triangular candle base is 5 centimeters, and the width of the slanted candle is 7 centimeters. What dimensions of the box are required to fit the candle?

Respuesta :

Volume of the candle:
V = B * h ( where B is the base area and h is the height )
270 = B * 18
B = 270 : 18
B = 15 cmΒ²
B = a * b / 2
B = 5 * b / 2
15 = 2.5 b
b = 15 : 2.5
b = 6 cm
Therefore dimensions of the box are: a = 7cm, b = 6 cm, c = 18 cm.
