Question

Which container holds the most?

A.
cylinder with radius 5 in. and height 15 in.

B.
sphere with radius 6 in.

C.
cone with radius 8 in. and height 15 in

Answer 1

calculate
cylinder=height times pi times r^2
sphere=4/3 times pi times r^3
cone=1/3 times pi times r^2 times hdight

cylinder=15 times pi times 5^2=375pi
sphere=4/3 times pi times 6^3=288pi
cone=1/3 times pi times 8^2 times 15=320

375 is the greatest so the answer is A a cylinder
