Answer: Just took this test and got it right, it's impossible to tell, unfortunately. We know one value of one cylinder, and the other value we need in the other cylinder. We're given the radius of one, not both, and the same goes for the height. Therefore, we can't possibly find out if the two are similar with the information given. Hope this helps!
