Can someone give me examples of a dimension of a cone and a cylinder that have the same volume?
i don't know much about this, but it cannot be too hard because you can pick any number you like as the volume
i would make it say \(10\pi\) or something
then make the dimensions work
use the equations for volume of a cone and a cylinder\[V_{cone}=\pi r^{2}\frac{ h }{ 3 }\] \[V_{cylinder}=\pi r^{2} h\]
set them equal to each other and then solve for one of the variables and you can plug in and find the value you want
you can see that either the height of th ecylinder must be 1/3 that of cone OR r^2 cylinder is 1/3 r^cone OR some combination of the 2 options
volume of cylinder = 3* volume of cone the easiest way to have the same volume is to have the same radius and the height of the cone 3*height of the cylinder see formula above
what question do you have about the answers suggested?
did you try any?
\[\pi R^2 H=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\pi r^2 h\] \[3R^2H=r^2h\] R=radius of cylinder H=height of cylinder. r=radius of cone h=height of cone keeping this equation in mind you can adjust the values yourself.
