Question

Mariah is replacing the water heater in her home and is considering three different models. One of the things she is comparing is
the volume of the cylindrical storage tank in each water heater. The dimensions of the storage tanks, in inches, are as follows.
• Water Heater X: r= 8.5 and h = 48
• Water Heater Y: r= 9.5 and h = 44
• Water Heater Z: r= 10.5 and h = 32
Which statement is true?
OA. Water heater Y has the storage tank with the greatest volume.
B. Water heater X has the storage tank with the greatest volume.
OC
The storage tanks in all three water heaters have the same volume.
OD
Water heater Z has the storage tank with the greatest volume.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a Cylinder is $\pi$*r^2 * h

In this problem I will use 3.14 as pi because it is easier to type

Water Tank X: 8.5*8.5*3.14*48=10,889.52

Water Tank Y: 9.5*9.5 *3.14*44=12,469.94

Water Tank Z: 10.5*10.5*3.14*32=11,077.92

So, A is correct.
