Sergio has two similar cylindrical pots, Pot A and Pot B. The radius of Pot A is 15 inches, and the radius of Pot B is 3 inches. What is the ratio of the volume of Pot A to the volume of Pot B?


10:1


25:1


125:1


5:1

Verified Answer :

Answer:

125:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the volume of Pot A to the volume of Pot B is equals to \(25:1\).

What is volume?

" Volume is defined as the total space occupied by three dimensional geometrical shape enclosed."

Formula used

Volume of cylinder \(= \pi r^{2} h\)

According to the question,

Given,

Two similar cylindrical pots

Radius of Pot A \(= 15inches\)

Radius of Pot B \(= 3inches\)

Consider,

\('h'\) represents the height of the similar Pot A and Pot B.

\(V_{1}\) represents the volume of Pot A

\(V_{2}\) represents the volume of Pot A

Substitute the value in the formula to get the ratio of the volume of Pot A and Pot B,

\(\frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} } = \frac{\pi (!5)^{2} h}{\pi (3)^{2}h } \\\\\implies \frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} } = \frac{15\times 15}{3\times 3} \\\\\implies \frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} } =\frac{25}{1}\)

Hence, Option(B) is the correct answer.
