Janiah Perry · Answer 1

We have the following equation:

V = kr ^ (2) h

For cylinder A we have:

251.2 = k * ((4) ^ (2)) * (5)

Let's clear k:

k = 251.2 / (((4) ^ (2)) * (5))

k = 3.14

For cylinder B we have:

V = 3.14 * ((3) ^ (2)) * (9)

V = 254.34 in ^ 3

Answer:

the volume of cylinder B is:

V = 254.34 in ^ 3
