To calculate and compare the volumes of Can A and Can B using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, \( V = π \cdot r^2 \cdot h \), where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height, we would need the specific measurements (radius and height) for both cans. Since these dimensions are not provided in your question, I will outline the steps for you to calculate the volumes:

  1. Find the Volume of Can A:

    • Measure or obtain the radius (r) and height (h) of Can A.
    • Use the volume formula:
      \( V_A = 3.14 \cdot r_A^2 \cdot h_A \)
  2. Find the Volume of Can B:

    • Measure or obtain the radius (r) and height (h) of Can B.
    • Use the volume formula:
      \( V_B = 3.14 \cdot r_B^2 \cdot h_B \)
  3. Compare the Volumes:

    • Determine which can has the larger volume.

For Part B regarding the difference in volume:

  • If \( V_A > V_B \):
    "Can A holds \( V_A - V_B \) in³ more paint than Can B."

  • If \( V_B > V_A \):
    "Can B holds \( V_B - V_A \) in³ more paint than Can A."

Please provide the radius and height for both cans so that I can perform the calculations for you. Alternatively, you can calculate using the steps outlined.
