Two cylinders are of the same height. Their radii are in the ratio 1: 3. If the volume of the first cylinder is 40 cc. Find the volume of the second cylinder?
Correct answer: A. 360 cc
- A. 360 cc
- B. 60 cc
- C. 300 cc
- D. 36 cc
Explanation
Cylinder volume is πr²h, so with equal heights the volume ratio is the square of the radius ratio: 1²:3² = 1:9. Therefore, the second volume is 40 cm³ × 9 = 360 cm³. The likely wrong choice is 60 cm³, which multiplies by 3 instead of by 3².

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
