Answer:

The volume of the cylinder B is greater than that of cylinder A

Step-by-step explanation:

To know which cylinder has the greater volume, we need to find the volumes of both cylinders.

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]

CYLINDER A

Radius, r = 3 m

Height, h = 1.2 m

Volume, V, will be:

[tex]V = \pi * 3^2 * 1.2\\\\V = 33.9 m^3[/tex]

The volume is [tex]33.9 m^3[/tex]

CYLINDER B

Radius, r = 4 m

Height, h = 2.5 m

Volume, V, will be:

[tex]V = \pi * 4^2 * 2.5\\\\V = 125.7m^3[/tex]

The volume is [tex]125.7 m^3[/tex]

The volume of the cylinder B is greater than that of cylinder A.
