Answer

Does not make sense.

Work Step by Step

The volume may be defined as the capacity or space that is being occupied by an item. The volume is expressed in terms of cubic units. The volume of a right circular cylinder is computed by multiplying the square of the radius with the height and finally multiplying the resultant with the value of pie. The volume of the right circular cylinder can be calculated using the equation as shown below: \[V=\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] On computing, the volume of both the cylindrical soup cans, one can easily conclude that the second cylindrical can have dimensions of 4inches diameter and height of 3 inches will be able to hold more than the first cylindrical can have dimensions of 3 inches diameter and height of 3 inches. The second can will be able to hold more quantity than the first can. Hence, the given statement does not make sense
