Answer 1

@midhun.madhu1987

Answer 2

first find the volume of each one. the formula is V=pi times radius squared times height

Answer 3

12*3?

Answer 4

then, you find a ratio. for example if pot A was 1 and pot B is 2 the ratio would be 1:2

Answer 5

do u multiply 12 and 3 ?

Answer 6

Since the pots are similar, does that mean that the heights are also in the same proportion?

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

no @Pandalife yes @mathstudent55

Answer 9

so is the answer just 12:3 ?

Answer 10

no because its asking for the ratio of the volume. the volume of pot A would be 144pi*h and pot B would be 9pi*h

Answer 11

can you show me ?

Answer 12

yup hold on
