The apothem of a regular polygon is the distance from the centre of the polygon to one its sides.
I will assume that by "square candle" you mean its base is a square.
If its apothem is 5 then its side is 10.
So the fact that the side is given as 10 confirms that and is actually redundant information.
Volume = 10cm x 10cm x 9cm = 900 cm^3
maths
To find the volume of the square candle, we need to multiply its base area by its height.
First, let's find the base area of the candle.
Since the candle is a square, its base area is the square of its side length. Therefore, the base area is 10cm * 10cm = 100 square cm.
Now, we can calculate the volume by multiplying the base area by the height.
Volume = Base Area * Height
Volume = 100 square cm * 9 cm = 900 cubic cm.
So, the volume of the square candle is 900 cubic cm.
