A. `V=1/3pir^2h`
B. `V=1/6pir^2`
C. `V=1/12pir^3`
D. `V=2pir^3`

Answer:

(1/12) Pi r^3 option C on plato

Explanation:

r = radius of the cylinder

V = (1/3)Pi c^2 h for a cone.

and c = r/2 and h = u

so Volume of the cone is (1/12) Pi r^3

we can use

volume of cone formula


V=(1)/(3) \pi r'^2 h'

where

r' is radius of cone

h' is height of cone

we are given

The radius of the cone is half the radius of the cylinder

so,


r'=(r)/(2)

The height of the cone is equal to the radius of the cylinder

so,


h'=r

now, we can plug values into formula

we get


V=(1)/(3) \pi ((r)/(2))^2*r

we can simplify it


V=(1)/(12) \pi r^3

so, option-C.........Answer
