Question

Give the dimensions of a cone and a cylinder that have the same volume. Show that the two solids have the same volume.

Answer 1

use the measurements given to ypu and substitute

Volume of the cylinder is

\[V = \pi r^2 h\]

Volume of the cone is

\[V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\]

canculate each volume and compare them. Are they the same ?

hope it helps.

p.s.. its a poor question given you are told they have the same volume...
