Answer:

The ratio is [tex]\frac{27}{343}[/tex] or 27:343

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of cylinder is = [tex]V=\pi r^{2} h[/tex] ; where r is radius and h is height.

Given that the ratio of the heights and radii of two similar cylinders is 3 : 7.

Let r' be the radius and h' be the height of the other cylinder.

Its volume is [tex]V'=\pi r'^{2} h'[/tex]

According to the given information, we have

[tex]\frac{r}{r'}=\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{3}{7}[/tex]

Hence, we get

[tex]\frac{V}{V'}=\frac{\pi r^2h}{\pi r'^2h'}[/tex]

= [tex](\frac{3}{7})^{2} \times \frac{3}{7}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{27}{343}[/tex]

Therefore, the ratio is 27:343
