Question

The height and radius are the same in both cylinders. Which cylinder has the greatest volume?

A) The volume is larger in the regular cylinder A.
B) The volume is larger in the oblique cylinder B
C) The volume in the same in both cylinders.
D) It cannot be determined.

I'm stuck between the last two.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is
C) The volume is the same in both cylinders.

In fact, the volume of a cylinder is:

`V= A h = \pi r^2 h`
where r is the radius of the base and h the height of the cylinder. This formula is valid for both right and non-right cylinders, and since the two cylinders in the figure have same radius and height, their volume is equal.
