A cylinder and a cone have the same diameter: 8 inches. The height of the cylinder is 5 inches. The height of the cone is 15 inches. Use π = 3.14. What is the relationship between the volume of this cylinder and this cone? Explain your answer by determining the volume of each and comparing them. Show all your work.

@iGreen.

plz help

Volume of a cylinder: \(V = \pi r^2 h\) \(V = (3.14)(4)^2(5)\) What's 4 * 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and what's 3.14 * 16 * 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

252.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

251.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's actually 251.2 Volume of a cone: \(V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\) \(V = \dfrac{1}{3} (3.14) (4)^2 (15)\) What's 1/3 * 3.14 * 16 * 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

251.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, they are the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the relationship is that they're the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the volume of a cone is ONE THIRD the volume of a cylinder. That's what you can say
