Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a diameter of 30 feet and a height of 18 feet. Container B has a diameter of 26 feet and a height of 19 feet. Container A is full of water and the water is pumped into Container B until Conainter B is completely full.
After the pumping is complete, what is the volume of the empty space inside Container A, to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?

VCylB = π r2 h
VCylB = (3.1416)(132)(19)
VCylB = 10,087.6776
VCylB = 10,087.7 ft3 ——>> Full container B was pumped out of container A.
The amount that container B holds is how much
empty space is left in container A.
