Volume of cylinder = pi*$$d^2$$*h/4

So ratio of volumes when height is same, is the ratio of the diameters.

Ratio = $$18^2$$/$$12^2$$ = $$(3/2)^2$$ = 9/4 = 2.25

Option B

If we assume that the height of both pools is h, then the volume of Marty’s pool is π * 6^2 * h = 36πh, and the volume of Rusty’s pool is π * 9^2 * h = 81πh. Therefore, the volume of Rusty’s pool is 81πh/36πh = 81/36 = 9/4 = 2.25 times that of Marty’s pool.
