Question

A cone has a volume of 5 cubic inches. What is the volume of a cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of?. . a. 15 in3. b. 20 in3. c. 25 in3. d. 30 in3

Answer 1

Volume of a cone: (1/3)*(PI)*(r^2)*h
5=(1/3)*(PI)*(r^2)*h
(r^2)*h=4.774648
Volume of the cylinder outside the cone: (PI)*(r^2)*h
V=(PI)*4.774648
V=15 in3

The answer is A. 15 in3
