Answer 1

I don't see the cylinders or their dimensions — could you either attach the picture or list each cylinder's radius (or diameter) and height?

While you get that to me, here is the quick method so you can order them yourself:
- Volume of a cylinder: V = π r^2 h.
- Since π is common to all cylinders, you only need to compare r^2 · h for each one.
- If you are given diameters d instead of radii, use r = d/2 so r^2 = d^2/4; equivalently compare d^2 · h (the 1/4 factor is common to all).
- Compute the value r^2·h (or d^2·h) for each cylinder, then sort those values from largest to smallest — that gives the order of volumes.

If you post the dimensions or the image, I will compute and order them for you.
