A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
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
