Question

A cone has a volume of 5 cubic inches. What is the volume of a cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of?

Answer 1

Answer:

15 $in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of Cone= 5 $inch ^{3}$

Solution:

Formula:

Volume of Cone =$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

Volume of Cylinder= $\pi r^{2} h$

$\therefore$ We can say that

Volume of Cone = $\frac{1}{3} \times$ Volume of Cylinder

$\therefore$ Volume of cylinder = 3 $\times$ Volume of Cone

Now Substituting given data we get

Volume of Cylinder= 3$\times$5

Volume of Cylinder= 15 $in^3$
