Question

A cylinder and a cone are shown below.

The two figures have the same radius and the same height.

If the volume of the cylinder is 108 in3, what is the volume of the cone? Explain why and how you found your answer.

Answer 1

36 in³

Explanation:

Volume of cylinder = pi×r²×h

Volume of cone = ⅓×pi×r²×h

For same r and h,

Volume of cone is ⅓ of the Volume of cylinder

⅓ × 108 = 36
