Which difference? If only their heights are given, then that is the only difference that can be answered.

Radius not given?
What about volume? Not given?

What do you mean by the "absolute value" of a cylinder? There is no such thing, so your question is nonsense. However, if you actually meant what is the difference in their volumes, then proceed as follows:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the area of the base times the height, so:

So:

and

You want

And until you discover the value of the radius, that is as far as you can go.
