Answer 2

Volume of Cone:

1/3 Bh where B is the area of the base

1/3 Bh = 5
Bh = 15
B = 15/h


The cylinder has the same base area as the cone.

Volume of Cylinder:

V = B*h

B = V/h and B = 15/h

The height of the cone and the cylinder are the same.

V/h = 15/h

Volume of Cylinder = 15. @lowcard2
