$7.41cm$

Volume of Cup A
$V=1/3pir^2h$
$V=1/3pitimes9^2times32$
$V=864pi$

Volume of Cup B
$V=1/3pir^2h$
$V=1/3pitimes5^2times24$
$V=200pi$

If Cup B was poured into Cup A, then Cup A will not overflow since it can hold a volume of $864pi$

To find the height of of water in Cup A,
$1/3pitimes9^2h=200pi$
$27pih=200pi$
$27h=200$
$h=200/27=7.41cm$
