    Volume of the candle:

    V = B * h (where B is the base area and h is the height)

    270 = B * 18

    B = 270 : 18

    B = 15 cm²

    B = a * b / 2

    B = 5 * b / 2

    15 = 2.5 b

    b = 15 : 2.5

    b = 6 cm

    Therefore dimensions of the box are: a = 7cm, b = 6 cm, c = 18 cm.

    Answer: B) 7 by 6 by 18 cm.
