Joseph is incorrect. The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
For the first cylinder:
Radius = 5m
Height = 12m
V1 = π(5^2)(12) = 300π m^3
For the second cylinder:
Radius = 11.5m
Height = 10m
V2 = π(11.5^2)(10) = 416.25π m^3
Since 416.25π is greater than 300π, the second cylinder has a greater volume than the first cylinder. Therefore, Joseph is incorrect in believing that the two cylinders have different volumes.
Joseph believes that the two cylinders shown in the image below have a different volume. Is
Joseph correct? Explain.
