The formula for a volume of a cone is v= πr^2h/3.

Brand A: π6^2(15/3)

Brand A: volume is about 565.49

Brand B: π5^2(18/3)

Brand B: volume is about 471.24

Brand A holds more volume so A would be the correct answer to the question.

Brand A hat is more preferable with largest volume i.e. 565.2 cu. inches.

What is Cone?

A cone is a distinctive three-dimensional geometric figure that has a flat surface and a curved surface, pointed towards the top.

Here, Given data are:

Height of cone for Brand A = 15 in.

Radius of cone of Brand A =6 in.

Volume of Cone of brand A = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

               V =[tex]\frac{1}{3}X 3.14X6^2X15[/tex]

               V = 565.2 cu. in.

Height of cone for Brand B = 18 in.

Radius of cone of Brand B =5 in.

Volume of Cone of brand A = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

               V =[tex]\frac{1}{3}X 3.14X5^2X18[/tex]

               V = 471 cu. in.

Volume of brand A > volume of brand B.

Thus, Brand A hat is more preferable with largest volume i.e. 565.2 cu. inches.
