So, I had assumed that this one was going to have the answer of 36...just out of pure guessing. I got that wrong so now I'm curi
ous as to how I would go a bout solving it. Given a soda can with a volume of 36 and a diameter of 4, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can? (Hint: only enter numerals in the answer blank).
Lets write formulas for volume of both cone and can
Cone: Vc = Bc*Hc/3
Can: V = B*H
where B is basis and H is height for each
Now because cone fits perfectly inside can that means that both B and H are the same from this we can see that cone has 3 times less volume than a can that cone is inside of.
if can has 36 volume that means that cone has: 36/3 = 12 volume
