Answer: Cylinder B is 50% bigger than cylinder A
Cylinder A volume:
= πr²h
= π(10)²(5)
= 500π
Cylinder B volume:
= 750π
Cylinder B bigger than Cylinder A by:
= (750π - 500π)/500π × 100 = 50%

Hence, cylinder B is bigger than cylinder A by 50%
Answer:
Cylinder B is 50% bigger than Cylinder A
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\textsf{Volume of a cylinder}=\sf \pi r^2 h \quad\textsf{(where r is the radius and h is the height)}[/tex]
Cylinder A
Given:
Substituting the given values into the formula:
[tex]\implies \sf Volume_A=\pi (10)^2(5)=500\pi \:in^3[/tex]
Cylinder B
Given:
[tex]\implies \sf Volume_B=750\pi \:in^3[/tex]
Percentage Change
[tex]\begin{aligned}\sf percentage\:change & =\sf \dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{Volume_B-Volume_A}{Volume_A} \times 100\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{750\pi-500\pi}{500\pi} \times 100\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{2} \times 100\\\\& = \sf 50\%\end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, Cylinder B is 50% bigger than Cylinder A
