Question

Jamie has two cylindrical travel mugs with the dimensions shown below. how much more can the taller travel mug hold compared to the shorter mug?

Answer 1

B. 39.27 in.³.

Explanation:

✔️Volume of the taller cylindrical mug = πr²h

Where,

r = ½(5) = 2.5 in.

h = 6 in.

Volume = π × 2.5² × 6

Volume of taller mug = 117.81 in.³

✔️Volume of the shorter cylindrical mug = πr²h

Where,

r = ½(5) = 2.5 in.

h = 4 in.

Volume = π × 2.5² × 4

Volume of taller mug = 78.54 in.³

✔️Thus:

117.81 in.³ - 78.54 in.³ = 39.27 in.³.

Therefore, the taller mug is 39.27 in.³ volume more than the shorter mug.
