Answer 2

@zelda can you help?

Answer 3

What's the equation for volume of a cone, and for volume of a cylinder?

Answer 4

is it (πr2) (h) = πr2h? for cylinder?

Answer 5

so insted aof 50 i used 24 so use this cause i want you to do it on own
volume of a cylinder = pi*r^2*h
volume of cone = 1/3*pi*r^2*h
same radius and height means same r and h
given volume of cylinder = 24
so volume of cone = 1/3*24 = 8

Answer 6

Then will my answer be 1/3 * 50= 12.5?

Answer 7

sorry no i meant to divide my 3..

Answer 8

50 divided by 3 is 16.6

Answer 9

1/3*50= 16.67
