The ratio of the volume of pipe a to the volume of pipe b is 27:1 .
What is cylinder?
A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape consisting of two parallel circular bases, joined by a curved surface. The center of the circular bases overlaps each other to form a right cylinder.
Given that,
Radius of pipe a is 6 cm, and the radius of pipe b is 2 cm.
We know that the volume of cylinder is :- [tex]\pi r^{2}h[/tex]
where r is radius and h is height of the cylinder.
If two figures are similar then ratio of volume is equal to the cube of any dimension.
The ratio of the volume of Pipe a to the volume of Pipe b :-
[tex]\frac{V(a)}{V(b)}=\frac{6^{3} }{2^{3} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{27}{1}[/tex]
Hence, The ratio of the volume of pipe a to the volume of pipe b is 27:1 .
