Answer: Rectangular Pan

Explanation:

Let's make sense of this problem first:

The question is asking which one is greater in terms of volume, which is the capacity the shape takes up.

First off, we have the cylinder or the round pan said on the first description.


You must find the area of the surface face, which you can find with the radius.

Circle area = pi x r^2
Pi x 3.5^2 = 38.48451

Multiply this by two (height) and you will get the volume of the round cake pan.

38.48451 x 2 = 76.96902

Secondly, we have the rectangular pan that is 6 by 9 by 2.

Multiply these all in correlation to the volume formula for a rectangular prism, which is length times width times height.

6 x 9 x 2 = 108

108 is greater than 76.96902, so the second pan has a larger volume.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

The rectangular

Explanation:

The surface area of the round pan = π·3.5(squared) = approximately 38.5
So, the volume = 38.5 x 2 = 77

The volume of the rectangular pan is 6 x 9 x 2 = 108

So, the rectangular pan has a larger volume
