Answer :
The volume of a cylinder is (π) (radius)² (height)
Volume of the larger glass = π (2.5)² (12) = 75 π cubic inches
Volume of the smaller glass = π (1.5)² (8) = 18 π cubic inches
If the smaller one is full to the rim, and you empty it into the larger one,
then the larger one can still hold
( 75π - 18π ) = 57π cubic inches = 179.07 cubic inches
Man, that's some glass . . . about 78% of a gallon !
