Question

A cylinder has a volume of 105 cubic centimeter what is the volume of a cone with the same base and height?

Answer 1

Answer:

35 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a cylinder:

$V_1=\pi r^2H$

r - radius

H - height

The formula of a volume of a cone:

$V_2=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H$

If the cylinder and the cone have the same base (radius) and the same height, then the volume of the cone is three times smaller than the volume of the cylinder.

$V_2=\dfrac{1}{3}\underbrace{\pi r^2H}_{V_1}$

Therefore:

$V_2=\dfrac{1}{3}V_1\toV_2=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot105\ cm^3=35\ cm^3$
