Question

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE A MEDAL AND FAN
Sergio has two similar cylindrical pots, Pot A and Pot B. The radius of Pot A is 15 inches, and the radius of Pot B is 3 inches. What is the ratio of the volume of Pot A to the volume of Pot B?

Answer 1

do you have a picture

BTW I am not good with this at all

Answer 2

they didn't give a picture

Answer 3

would it be
area measure is a^2:b^2
volume measure is a^3:b^3

Answer 4

Would you explain how you got that :) @emsxx3_

Answer 5

since the radius went from 18 to 13 the radius decreased by a factor of 13/18 then the new hight decreased as well by 13/18 so they want the ratio of pot a to pot b so V1:V2
so then i did 18^2:13^3/18
so h/18=x/3 solving for x gives 3/18
and then i got
area measure a^2:b^2
volume measure is a^3:b^3

Answer 6

Where'd the 13 and 18 come from?

Answer 7

the figure i drew i would attach it but it won't let me

Answer 8

Well, I'm sorry to say, but that is incorrect :( Would you like me to walk you through the question?

Answer 9

yes please

(I just copied it.. Haha xD)

So far, the ratio is 15:3 (in inches, not squared or cubed) simplified to 5:1
When a person is looking for volume, is it usually in;
in (line)
in^2 (squared)
in^3 (cubed)
