Question

Euclid’s root beer mug is shaped basically like a cylinder that is eight inches tall with a radius of three inches. Aristotle’s root beer glass is shaped basically like a cone that is 18 inches tall with a diameter of four inches. Which vessel holds the most root beer?

Answer 1

The Euclid's mug holds the most root beer.

Explanation:

Euclid's mug :

Height = 8 inches

Radius = 3 inches

Volume = π(r x r) h

= (3.14) (9) 8

= 226.08 cubic inches

Aristotle's mug:

Height = 18 inches

Diameter = 4 inches

Radius = 2 inches

Volume = (1/3) π(r x r) h

= (1/3) (3.14) (4) 18

= 37.68 cubic inches

The Euclid's mug holds the most root beer.
