Question

Which solid has a greater volume

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of cylinder and the volume of a cone, have equal volume measurements. So, the answer is C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylinder:

-Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder. Use both the radius and height for the formula in order to solve and get the volume:

$V = \pi r^2 h$

$V = \pi 2^2 6$

-Solve:

$V = \pi 2^2 6$

$V = \pi \times 2^2 \times 6$

$V = \pi \times 4 \times 6$

$V = \pi \times 24$

$V = 24\pi \approx 75.39$

Cone:

-Use the formula for the volume of a cone and the radius and height for the formula and solve the formula to get the volume:

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi 3^28$

-Solve:

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi 3^28$

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 3^2 \times 8$

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 9 \times 8$

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 72$

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi \times 72$

$V = 24\pi \approx 75.39$

-So, according to the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a cone, They both have the same volume.

Cylinder: $75.39$ $ft^3$

Cone: $75.39$ $ft^3$
