How to find the ratio of the volume of a cone to the volume to a cylinder

Answer 1

The volume of a cone, V(cone), is given by the following formula:

V(cone) = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the circular base and h is the height of the cone. The area B of the base is given by the formula B = πr², where r is the radius of the circular base; Therefore, substituting for B, the volume of a cone becomes:
