You can put this solution on YOUR website! A box 18 cm by 9 cm by 15 cm is being used to ship cylindrical candles. Each candle has a diameter of 9 cm and a height of 15 cm. What is the volume of the empty space in the box?
-----
Vol of the box = 18*9*15 = 2430 cm^3
----
Vol of each candle = (pi)(4.5)^2*15 = 924.26 cm^3
2 candles volumes: 1848.52 cm^3
----
Vol of empty space = 2430-1848.52 = 581.48
