The answer is 15 in³.
The volume of the cone is:
where:
V₁ - the volume of the cone
r₁ - the radius of the cone
h₁ - the height of the cone
The volume of the cylinder is:
where:
V₂ - the volume of the cone
r₂ - the radius of the cone
h₂ - the height of the cone
Since <span>the cone fits exactly inside of the cylinder, they have the same radius and the height:
r</span>₁ = r₂
h₁ = h₂
Also:
V₁ = 5
Now, let's write two volume formulas together:
<span>
</span>
We can include V₂ into V₁:
⇒
