Given:
For cylinder A:
Radius = 3 unit
Height = 4 unit
For cylinder B:
Radius = 4 unit
Height = 3 unit
To find the ratio of the volume of cylinder A to the volume of cylinder B.
Formula
The volume of a cylinder is,
![V = \pi r^(2) h](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/v5x091x7odtfp4qayikkqqygqvhabenbyx.png)
where, r be the radius and
h be the volume of the cylinder.
Now,
For cylinder A
Putting, r = 3 and h = 4 we get,
Volume
=
![\pi (3^(2) )(4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/fse7iylok9aeiyfq8ypxtcvhw12yndy566.png)
or,
![V_(A) = 36\pi](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/6awg12txhocb54m0c6rf7gn735jjbc3xf7.png)
For cylinder B
Putting, r = 4 and h = 3 we get
Volume
![V_(B)=\pi (4^(2) )(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/tx5iqfzs6k8q24kvytjskoo22g6l5u0sdu.png)
or,
![V_(B)= 48\pi](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/ivkr6ftjkuu2xupazi26jyx2h4lzaapp7u.png)
Now,
The ratio
![(V_(A) )/(V_(B)) = (36\pi)/(48\pi)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/9ph1lrw2m4p3flyk75ivktagxpszy5f5lx.png)
or,
![(V_(A) )/(V_(B)) = (3)/(4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/lmbawg0kqsio8uwwjhswdqypqhar2a4wc1.png)
Hence,
The ratio of the volume of Cylinder A to the volume of Cylinder B is
. Option A
