Answer 5

Volume of a cone is \[\pi r^2 h/3\] and the volume of a cylinder is \[\pi r^2h\] Given that for the cone to fit in the cylinder, the base and height must be the same. This means that the volume of the cylinder is 3 times that of the cone - i.e. 3x24 = 72

Answer 6

i already did that and multiplied and got that answer. your supposed to divide @I_Need_Help_With_Home

Answer 7

Volume of a cone is 1/3 the volume of a cylinder.

Answer 8

i did it backwards and now im confused,

Answer 9

24 * 3 = ? @Para_phrenic88

Answer 10

ik that

Answer 11

is 72

Answer 12

@I_Need_Help_With_Home Don't give out answers.

Answer 13

but my teach just said im wrong.....

Answer 14

its volume of cylinder not cone

Answer 15

Answer 16

here this is what i had as my answer

Answer 17

And what's that?

Answer 18

ik but i need help getting to that point. like can you help explain

Answer 19

like no1 ever helps me on this site they only give answers

Answer 20

The volume of a cone is 1/3 the volume of a cylinder.

And since the volume of our cylinder is 24, we divide the volume of the cylinder by 3 to get the volume of a cone that fits perfectly in it.

Answer 21

Get it? @Para_phrenic88

Answer 22

so i would divide 24 by 3?

Answer 23

that would be 8

Answer 24

yes @iGreen

Answer 25

Yep, that's right. So the volume of the cone will be 8.@Para_phrenic88
