Question

Which holds more, a cylinder with a height of 10.0 cm and a diameter of 7.0 cm or a cylinder with a height of 7.0 cm and a diameter of 10.0 cm? Explain your answer using calculations. *

Answer 1

The cylinder with a height of 7.0 cm and a diameter of 10.0 cm

Explanation:

v = πr²h

---------------------

cylinder with a height of 10.0 cm and a diameter of 7.0 cm

v = π(3.5²)10

v = 384.65 cm³

cylinder with a height of 7.0 cm and a diameter of 10.0 cm

v = π(5²)7

v = 549.5 cm²

549.5 > 384.65

The second cylinder holds more
