Cylinder:

V = pi r^2 h

V = 3.14 9^2 11

Simplify exponent:

V = 3.14 81 11

Multiply:

V = 2797.74

Sphere:

V = 4/3 pi r^3

V = 4/3 3.14 9^3

Simplify exponent:

V = 4/3 3.14 729

Multiply:

V = 3052.08

Cone:

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

V = 1/3 3.14 12^2 20

Simplify exponent:

V = 1/3 3.14 144 * 20

Multiply:

V = 3014.4

So the Sphere holds the most.
