Question

A cylinder and a cone have the same diameter: 8 inches. The height of the cylinder is 3 inches. The height of the cone is 18 inches.
Use π = 3.14.

What is the relationship between the volume of this cylinder and this cone? Explain your answer by determining the volume of each and comparing them. Show all your work.

Answer 1

Once you do the math and find the volume of the cone it comes out to 150.8

and the cylinders volume comes out to 301.6 the relationship between them is that the the cones volume is 2x smaller than the cylinders volume so two cones would equal one cylinder.

Answer 2

OK once you do the math and find the volume of the cone it comes out to 150.8
and the cylinders volume comes out to 301.6  the relationship between them is that the the cones volume is 2x smaller than the cylinders volume so two cones would equal one cylinder.
