Textbook Question

Chapter 3, Problem 4LUP

Imagine you are comparing the ability of electric hot plates of different sizes and temperatures to fully cook two identical large pots of spaghetti. Note that all the pots are as large as the largest hot plate. The shading of each hot plate is used to illustrate its temperature. The darker the shade of gray the cooler the temperature of the hot plate.
If you use two hot plates of different sizes, can you assume that the hot plate that can cook a large pot of spaghetti first is at a higher temperature? Which lettered example above supports your answer?
