Answer:

The volume of the cylinder B is greater than that of cylinder A

Explanation:

To know which cylinder has the greater volume, we need to find the volumes of both cylinders.

The volume of a cylinder is given as:


V = \pi r^2h

CYLINDER A

Radius, r = 3 m

Height, h = 1.2 m

Volume, V, will be:


V = \pi * 3^2 * 1.2\\\\V = 33.9 m^3

The volume is
33.9 m^3

CYLINDER B

Radius, r = 4 m

Height, h = 2.5 m

Volume, V, will be:


V = \pi * 4^2 * 2.5\\\\V = 125.7m^3

The volume is
125.7 m^3

The volume of the cylinder B is greater than that of cylinder A.
