I wish you could supply the picture so I could be sure, but here goes: The volume of a prism is given by volume = (area of base) X height. This means we also need to know area of the base, which in this case is a triangle. Area of a triangle is given by area = (length of base of triangle) X (height of triangle) = 6 X 4 = 24 cm^2. This then needs to be multiplied by the height of the prism, which is the distance between the two bases, so volume = 24 X 5 = 120cm^3. It took 120 cubic centimeters of wax to make this candle.
