The hexagonal prism candle requires 21 x 8 = 168cc of wax.
After that, 260 - 168 = 92cc of wax would remain.
A triangular prism candle with a height of 14 centimeters and a base area of 7 square centimeters would require 14 x 7 = 98cc of wax, which is more than she has remaining.
Josie has 260 cubic centimeters of candle wax. She wants to
make a hexagonal prism candle with a base area of 21 square centimeters and a height of 8 centimeters. She also wants to make a triangular prism candle with a height of 14 centimeters. Can the base area of the
triangular prism candle be 7 square centimeters? Explain.
THANK YOU!
