Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.  

My answer:

To find which cylinder has the greater volume, we need to find out the volume of each one.

As we all know that the formula used to determine the volume of a cylinder is:

V = The base area*the height

<=> V = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]h (cubic units)

For example, in my attached photo, we will use this formula to find the volume of each one.

  • 1. Cylinder A:

The base area = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex] = π[tex]3.5^{2}[/tex] = 38.46 square in

The height = 8.5 in

=> the volume of Cylinder A

= The base area*the height

= 38.46*8.5

= 326.91 cubic in

  • 2. Cylinder B:

The base area = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex] = π[tex]2.7^{2}[/tex] = 22.89 square in

The height = 11 in

=> the volume of Cylinder A

= The base area*the height

= 22.89*11

= 251.79  cubic in

Hence, Cylinder B has the greater volume
