To compare the heights of the two cylindrical containers, we will need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is:
\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]
where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius of the base, and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.
### For Cylinder 1:
- **Volume**: \( V_1 \)
- **Base Radius**: \( r_1 = 6 \)
Using the volume formula, we can express the height \( h_1 \) of Cylinder 1 as:
\[
h_1 = \frac{V_1}{\pi r_1^2} = \frac{V_1}{\pi (6^2)} = \frac{V_1}{36\pi}
\]
### For Cylinder 2:
- **Volume**: \( V_2 \)
- **Base Radius**: \( r_2 = 10 \)
Similarly, the height \( h_2 \) of Cylinder 2 can be expressed as:
\[
h_2 = \frac{V_2}{\pi r_2^2} = \frac{V_2}{\pi (10^2)} = \frac{V_2}{100\pi}
\]
### Comparison of Heights:
To determine which container is taller, we need to compare \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \):
\[
h_1 = \frac{V_1}{36\pi} \quad \text{and} \quad h_2 = \frac{V_2}{100\pi}
\]
This can be simplified to comparing:
\[
h_1 \cdot 36\pi \quad \text{to} \quad h_2 \cdot 100\pi
\]
So we are effectively comparing:
\[
V_1 \cdot 100 \quad \text{to} \quad V_2 \cdot 36
\]
### Conclusion:
To determine which cylinder is taller, we need specific values for \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \). If:
- \( V_1 \cdot 100 > V_2 \cdot 36 \), then Cylinder 1 is taller.
- \( V_1 \cdot 100 < V_2 \cdot 36 \), then Cylinder 2 is taller.
If you provide the values of \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \), we can perform the actual comparison.
\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]
where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius of the base, and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.
