Answer 2

the radius of A is 5
the radius of B is 18
so the ratio of "a side of the cylinders" is5/18
thus, the ratio of the volumes, keeping in mind volume means 3units, or cubic units,
the ratio of the volumes is then \(\bf \textit{ratio of radii}=\cfrac{5}{18}\quad \textit{thus ratio of volumes}\implies \left( \cfrac{5}{18}\right)^3\implies \cfrac{5^3}{18^3}\)

Answer 3

so what is the answer

Answer 4

dunno, you tell me

Answer 5

imm 15

Answer 6

well, tis above... should be clear I'd think :/

Answer 7

volume means cubic units, so you raise the ratio of the "sides" by 3 to get the volume
same way that, if you needed the ratio of the areas, square units, you'd just raise them by 2
