Question
The Candle Emporium is pouring cylindrical candles. Each candle has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 18 inches. Which formula represents the correct way to find the volume of a candle?
V = (5) (18)
V = pi (5) (18)
V = pi (18) squared (5)
V = pi (5) squared (18)
V = (5) (18)
V = pi (5) (18)
V = pi (18) squared (5)
V = pi (5) squared (18)

The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]
where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height.
In this case, the radius \( r \) is 5 inches and the height \( h \) is 18 inches.
Plugging in the values:
\[
V = \pi (5)^2 (18)
\]
So the correct formula from the options provided is:
\[
V = \pi (5)^{2} (18)
\]
\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]
where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height.
In this case, the radius \( r \) is 5 inches and the height \( h \) is 18 inches.
Plugging in the values:
\[
V = \pi (5)^2 (18)
\]
So the correct formula from the options provided is:
\[
V = \pi (5)^{2} (18)
\]
