A cylinder has a volume of 136 cubic centimeters. What is the volume of a cone with the same height and the same diameter

Gelneren [198K]

Volume of a cylinder = pi r^2 h If the cone has exactly the same measurements then its formula is going to be
V_cone = 1/3 pi r^2 h. If that's the case the only difference is that the Cone's volume is 1/3 that of the cylinder
V_cone = 1/3 V_cylinder
V_cone = 1/3 136 cubic cm.
V_cone = 45.33 cubic cm.

Answer: $g(x)=\frac{1}{2}f(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that g(x) is a straight line that passes through the origin, just like f(x), so g(x)=kx for some constant k.

Since g(x) passes through (4,2), we know that 2=4k, and thus k=1/2.

So, $\boxed{g(x)=\frac{1}{2}f(x)}$
