Answer:

Sample response: Volume represents the amount of space an object takes up. Surface area represents the area of the outside surface of the object. If you need to find the amount of space something takes up, or the amount to fill something, find the volume. If you want to find how much is needed to cover something, find the surface area.

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are asking for volume, they are wanting to know how much can go inside the object....If they are asking for surface area.....the are wanting to know about the outside only.

Which container holds the most?

goldenfox [79]

Cylinder:

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 9^2 * 11

Simplify exponent:

V = 3.14 * 81 * 11

Multiply:

V = 2797.74

Sphere:

V = 4/3 * pi * r^3

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 9^3

Simplify exponent:

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 729

Multiply:

V = 3052.08

Cone:

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 12^2 * 20

Simplify exponent:

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 144 * 20

Multiply:

V = 3014.4

So the Sphere holds the most.
