Volume of cylinder = (pi)(radius²)(height)
= (pi)(3²)(3)
= (pi)(9)(3)
= (pi)(27)
≈ (3.14)(27)
≈ 84.78
NOTE: Since the value of Quantity A is so close to 84, you'll probably need to use your onscreen calculator.

So, we get:
Quantity A: 84.78
Quantity B: 84

Answer: A

Pi * r^2 * height = 3.14 * 3^2 * 3

3^4 = 81 given that one of them is 3.14 as said earlier we need to multiply to find the answer and probably use the calculator.

Hi @AE

The area of a circle is known to be pi * r^2

Given that we need the volume so we multiply the third dimension which is the height.
