Given: There are two right circular cylinders A and B. The height and the diameter of cylinder B are each twice those of cylinder A.
Asked: If the capacity of cylinder A is 10 barrels, what is the capacity of cylinder B, in barrels?

Cylinder A: -
Height = h
Diameter = d
Capacity (volume) = \(\pi d^2h/4 = 10\)

Cylinder B: -
Height = 2h
Diameter = 2d
Capacity (volume) = \(\pi (2d)^2(2h)/4 = 8*10 = 80\)

IMO D

why did you divide the volume by 4?

Volume of a right circular cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h = \pi d^2h/4\) since d = 2r
