Answer:

Volume of smallest container = 3141.6 cm³

Volume of middle sized container = 6283.2 cm³

Volume of largest container = 9424.8 cm³

Explanation:

The formula to find the volume of a cylinder = πr²h

The height of each cylinder in a set of food-storage containers is 30 cm.

The radius of the largest container is 10 cm.

Step 1

We can find the volume of the largest cylinder

= r = 10cm

h = 30cm

Volume of largest cylinder = π × 10² × 30

= 9424.8 cm³

Step 2

We find the volume of the smallest container

We are told in the question:

The volume of the smallest container is one-third the volume of the largest container.

Hence

Volume of Smallest container = 1/3 (9424.8 cm³)

= 3141.6 cm³

Step 3

The volume of the middle-sized container is two-thirds the volume of the largest container.

Hence,

Volume of the middle sized container =

2/3 (9424.8 cm³)

= 6283.2 cm³

Therefore, the volume of each container is

Volume of smallest container = 3141.6 cm³

Volume of middle sized container = 6283.2 cm³

Volume of largest container = 9424.8 cm³
