Answer:
mold B
Explanation:
The molds are of cylindrical shape. The volume of a cylinder is given by:
Volume = πr²h
where r is the radius and h is the height.
For mold A: diameter = 2 inches, hence radius = 1 inch. Height = 7 inches
volume = π(1²)7 = 7π in³
For mold B: diameter = 2 inches, hence radius = 1 inch. Height = 4 inches
volume = π(1²)4 = 4π in³
For mold C: diameter = 3 inches, hence radius = 1.5 inch. Height = 3 inches
volume = π(1.5²)3 = 6.75π in³
For mold C: diameter = 4 inches, hence radius = 1.5 inch. Height = 3 inches
volume = π(2²)3 = 12π in³
Therefore mold B has the smallest volume
