Answer:

(d) 2/3(11)

Explanation:

The height of the cylinder is h=2r, so the volume of the cylinder in terms of radius is ...

V = πr^2·h = πr^2·(2r) = 2πr^3

The volume of the sphere is given by the formula ...

V = (4/3)πr^3

So, the ratio of the sphere volume to the cylinder volume is ...

sphere volume / cylinder volume = ((4/3)πr^3)/(2πr^3) = (4/3)/2 = 2/3

That is, the sphere volume is ...

sphere volume = (2/3) × (cylinder volume)

V = (2/3)(11)
