HI!!

anonymous · Answer

can you explain this and hi

misty1212 · Answer

volume is $\pi r^2h$ and $r$ is half the diameter

misty1212 · Answer

first on has volume $$\pi \times 5^2\times 10.5$$

misty1212 · Answer

second one has volume 
$$\pi \times (3.75)^2\times 11$$

misty1212 · Answer

since you are just comparing them you can ignore the $\pi$ and compare $$5^2\times 10.5$$ with $$(3.75)^2\times 11$$
