Question

Based on your results in Question 1, how is the volume of the cone related to the volume of the cylinder, given that their bases and heights are the same? (Keep in mind that the volumes you recorded were rounded, not exact values.)

Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is 1/3 b h and the volume for the cube is s^3. When a square pyramid and a cube have the same bases and volume, the height of the square pyramid would be three times the height of the cube. That is how the height of the square pyramid and the height of the cube are related.
