The length of the cylindrical shaped candle will be 17.41 inches.We have,A pillar candle shaped like a cylinder carrying wax.And,Radius of cylindrical candle = 1.5 inchesAnd,Volume of the cylindrical candle = 123 cubic inches,And,Let length of the cylindrical candle = hSo,Now,According to the question,The Volume of the cylindrical candle = πr²hNow,Putting values,i.e.123 = 3.14 × (1.5)² × hi.e.123 = 3.14 × 2.25 × hAnd,On solving we get,h = 123/(3.14 × 2.25)i.e.h = 123/7.065i.e.h = 17.41 inchesSo,The length of cylindrical candle = 17.41 inches.Hence we can say that the length of the cylindrical shaped candle will be 17.41 inches.Learn more about cylinder herehttps://brainly.com/question/16134180#SPJ4
