1. **State the problem:** We need to find which pair of radius and height values produces the greatest volume for a cylinder.
2. **Formula for the volume of a cylinder:**
$$V = \pi r^2 h$$
where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height.
3. **Calculate the volume for each pair:**
- For $r=1$, $h=4$:
$$V = \pi \times 1^2 \times 4 = 4\pi$$
- For $r=2$, $h=3$:
$$V = \pi \times 2^2 \times 3 = 12\pi$$
- For $r=3$, $h=2$:
$$V = \pi \times 3^2 \times 2 = 18\pi$$
- For $r=4$, $h=1$:
$$V = \pi \times 4^2 \times 1 = 16\pi$$
4. **Compare the volumes:**
$$4\pi < 12\pi < 16\pi < 18\pi$$
5. **Conclusion:** The greatest volume is $18\pi$ cubic feet, which occurs when the radius is 3 ft and the height is 2 ft.
