Answer:
Cylinder B has a volume of 360 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a regular cylinder is:
The base of a cylinder is a circle with an area πr²
So the volume of a cylinder is: V= πr² (base)
In this case, since we know the two cylinders have the same base and height. Then one can use Cavalieri's Principle which <em>states that two solids of equal altitude, the sections made by planes parallel to and at the same distance from their respective bases are always equal, then the volumes of the two solids are equal </em>(Kern and Bland 1948, p. 26).
Therefore, it does not matter that the slant lenght differs because the altitude and base remain unchanged.

As both and
determine terminal points in the fourth quadrant, we know that both angles fall between
and
. We also know that
for
, and that
is strictly increasing along this interval.
This means that the angle with the larger cosine value must be closer to having a measure of 360 degrees than the angle with the smaller cosine value, so .
