Q. Anya has two different sized cylindrical coffee mugs. The larger mug has an internal height of 1515 centimeters (cm) (\mathrm{cm}) , and the smaller mug has an internal height of 10 cm 10 \mathrm{~cm} . Both mugs have an internal diameter of 8 cm 8 \mathrm{~cm} . Which of the following is closest to the difference in cubic centimeters (cm3) \left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right) between the internal volume of the larger mug and the internal volume of the smaller mug?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 63 cm3 63 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \newline(B) 251 cm3 251 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \newline(C) 754 cm3 754 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \newline(D) 1,005 cm3 1,005 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}
  1. Calculate Volume: First, we need to calculate the volume of each mug. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h, where rr is the radius and hh is the height. The radius is half the diameter, so for both mugs, the radius is 8cm/2=4cm8 \, \text{cm} / 2 = 4 \, \text{cm}.
  2. Volume of Larger Mug: Now, let's calculate the volume of the larger mug using the formula. The height of the larger mug is 15cm15\,\text{cm}. Volume of larger mug = π×(4cm)2×15cm\pi \times (4\,\text{cm})^2 \times 15\,\text{cm}
  3. Volume of Smaller Mug: Perform the calculation for the larger mug:\newlineVolume of larger mug = π×16 cm2×15 cm\pi \times 16 \text{ cm}^2 \times 15 \text{ cm}\newlineVolume of larger mug = π×240 cm3\pi \times 240 \text{ cm}^3
  4. Find Difference: Next, calculate the volume of the smaller mug. The height of the smaller mug is 10cm10\,\text{cm}. Volume of smaller mug = π×(4cm)2×10cm\pi \times (4\,\text{cm})^2 \times 10\,\text{cm}
  5. Simplify Difference: Perform the calculation for the smaller mug:\newlineVolume of smaller mug = π×16cm2×10cm\pi \times 16 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 10 \, \text{cm}\newlineVolume of smaller mug = π×160cm3\pi \times 160 \, \text{cm}^3
  6. Calculate Numerical Value: Now, we find the difference in volume between the two mugs:\newlineDifference in volume = Volume of larger mug - Volume of smaller mug\newlineDifference in volume = π×240cm3π×160cm3\pi \times 240 \, \text{cm}^3 - \pi \times 160 \, \text{cm}^3
  7. Compare with Options: Simplify the difference in volume:\newlineDifference in volume = π×(240cm3160cm3)\pi \times (240 \, \text{cm}^3 - 160 \, \text{cm}^3)\newlineDifference in volume = π×80cm3\pi \times 80 \, \text{cm}^3
  8. Compare with Options: Simplify the difference in volume:\newlineDifference in volume = π×(240cm3160cm3)\pi \times (240 \, \text{cm}^3 - 160 \, \text{cm}^3)\newlineDifference in volume = π×80cm3\pi \times 80 \, \text{cm}^3Since π\pi is approximately 3.141593.14159, we can now calculate the numerical value of the difference in volume:\newlineDifference in volume 3.14159×80cm3\approx 3.14159 \times 80 \, \text{cm}^3\newlineDifference in volume 251.3272cm3\approx 251.3272 \, \text{cm}^3
  9. Compare with Options: Simplify the difference in volume:\newlineDifference in volume = π×(240cm3160cm3)\pi \times (240 \, \text{cm}^3 - 160 \, \text{cm}^3)\newlineDifference in volume = π×80cm3\pi \times 80 \, \text{cm}^3Since π\pi is approximately 3.141593.14159, we can now calculate the numerical value of the difference in volume:\newlineDifference in volume 3.14159×80cm3\approx 3.14159 \times 80 \, \text{cm}^3\newlineDifference in volume 251.3272cm3\approx 251.3272 \, \text{cm}^3Looking at the options provided, the closest value to our calculated difference in volume is 251cm3251 \, \text{cm}^3, which corresponds to option (B).
