Which container holds the most?

A.
cylinder with radius 9 in. and height 11 in.

B.
sphere with radius 9 in.

C.
cone with radius 12 in. and height 20 in.

Cylinder:

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 9^2 * 11

Simplify exponent:

V = 3.14 * 81 * 11

Multiply:

V = 2797.74

Sphere:

V = 4/3 * pi * r^3

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 9^3

Simplify exponent:

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 729

Multiply:

V = 3052.08

Cone:

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 12^2 * 20

Simplify exponent:

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 144 * 20

Multiply:

V = 3014.4

So the Sphere holds the most.
