Cylinder A has radius 1 m and height 4 m. Cylinder B has radius 2 m and height 4 m. Find the ratio of the volume of cylinder A to the volume of cylinder B.

Answer 1

volume = h(pi)r^2 = height times pi times radius squared

volume of cylinder A is 4pi

volume of cylinder B is 4pi(2)^2 = 16pi

raito of volume A to volume B is 4pi/16pi = 1/4
