To impress management, you decide to propose your own original candle design based on solid figures. Make your candle design attractive but also make sure it will be practical to manufacture. Draw the candle in the space below and label the drawing with dimensions. Then write an equation for the volume of the candle in terms of x, where x is a dimension that defines the area of the candle’s base. Write the polynomial in standard form.

@StudyGurl14  How would I do this?

studygurl14 · Answer

Just choose any three-dimensional figure that you like, but also would be easy to manufacture and fits on a shelf well without lots of gaps. Personally, I would either choose a cylinder or a rectangular prism. Then, just assign values to the dimensions of the figure, using the variable x. Then, using the formula for volume for that particular figure, find the polynomial that presents the volume.
