Answer 2

How did you approach this problem

(Hint: Comparison of two volumes)

Answer 3

I need to compare volume of cone with volume of sphere
V of cone=1/3 *pi*r^2*h
V of sphere=4/3 *pi*r^3
V of cone= 1/3 * pi*1*5 = 5/3 pi
V of sphere= 4/3 *pi*1 = 4/3 pi
@FortyTheRapper the answer is no right?

Answer 4

Perfect
