Cylinder 1
2h%2Api%2Ar%5E2

Cylinder 2
h%2Api%2A%282r%29%5E2


You are asked for the ratio of volume of Cyl.1 to Cyl.2.
Do you see what to do?

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE REQUESTED VOLUME RATIO:
Ratio of cylinder 1 to cylinder 2,
%282h%2Api%2Ar%5E2%29%2F%28h%2Api%2A%282r%29%5E2%29------Simplify the expression.
