Question

WHICH CYLINDER WILL HAVE A LARGER VOLUME? 2.7 in. 3.5 in. 11 in (В CYLINDER A 8.5 in А CYLINDER B

Answer 1

The formula to obtain the volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given below

`V_{\text{cylinder}}=r^2\pi h`

We can obtain the areas of both cylinders by using that formula

`\begin{gathered} V_A=\pi(3.5)^2(8.5)=327.118\ldots \\ V_B=\pi(2.7)^2(11)=251.924\ldots \\ \Rightarrow V_A>V_B \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is cylinder A
