this is what i am trying to say:lets say you have a sphere and you put different sizes of cylinders in that fit in there exactly but you try different heights and diameters , will the volume always be the same no matter what the shape of the cylinder is , hopefull someone understands this questions and can answers it for me

This question is rather vague. By "will it always have the same volume" do you mean the spehere or the cylinder? Either way, the answer is no, the volume can change. Volume is dependent on the size of the cylinder. The ratio between the cylinder and sphere can remain the same (if the cylindeer edges touch the inside edges of the sphere).

If i understand correctly, the answer is no. Let us image 2 cases, the one where the cylinder is very tall and very thin. If the radius of the ball is 1 foot, and you put in a cylinder (very tall and thin) the formula would be (pi)r^2 times height. Say the height is close to 1, then it would be pi*r^2, but when h=1, r=very very small, say, .001. In this case, the volume would be very small. However, we can all easily image a cylinder inside a sphere to have a decent volume, so ... no

well, for starters i don't think your question is stupid.
I'm assuming that you have a cylinder within a sphere such that the circular ends of the cylinder touch the sphere.
Then the answer to your questiuon is NO.
It is simple trigonometry,( I can't draw a sphere here and show it).
But if you draw the problem on a sheet of paper then you find that it is not possible to express the volume of cylinder as a function of only sphere radius. (coz if you can express volume in terms of only the radius of sphere it means its volume is always the same.)
P.S. :Hope this answers your question........please don't hesitate to ask me via messenger bout this if you want.

I understand what your saying. The answer is no. It's because lets say you made a REALLY narrow and tall cylinder that had almost no volume. Or I could make a REALLY flat cylinder that had almost no volume

no b/c a basket ball is bigger than a golf ball there fore the volume of the cylinder of the basket ball is bigger than the one in the golf ball

I'm glad you didn't put this in the math section.
