Question

The volume of a cone is 48π cm3. If this cone is placed inside of a cylinder with the exact same sized base and height, how much empty space is left in the cylinder?

Answer 1

32π cm^3.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is 1/3 of the volume of a cylinder with the same base area and height.

So the empty space = 2/3 * 48π

= 32π cm^3.
