\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The condition does't say whether A is the larger or the smaller cylinder.
\n" ); document.write( "I will assume that A is the smaller cylinder.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Since the cylinders are similar and since the ratio of their volumes is ,\r\n" );
document.write( "the ratio of their linear dimensions/measures is  =   (similarity coefficient).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Next, since the height of the smaller cylinder is 12 cm, then the height of the larger cylinder is  = 18 cm.\r\n" );

\n" );
