Question 1162951
.
<pre>

Calculate the volume  {{{V[1]}}}  of the smallest candle using the standard formula for the cylinder.


Then the volume of the 2-nd candle is  {{{V[2]}}} = {{{2^3*V[1]}}} = {{{8V[1]}}},

and  the volume of the 3-rd candle is  {{{V[3]}}} = {{{3^3*V[1]}}} = {{{27V[1]}}}.


The total volume of the three candles  is  {{{(1 + 8 + 27)*V[1]}}} = {{{36*V[1]}}}.
