Answer:

24 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for the volume of a cylinder and cone are ...

volume of a cylinder = πr^2·h

volume of a cone = (1/3)πr^2·h

For the same radius and height, the cone has 1/3 the volume of the cylinder. Your cone's volume is ...

(1/3)·(72 cubic inches) = 24 cubic inches

The half-life of a certain substance is 20 years. How much of a 100 gram sample will be left after 20 years?

$\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &100\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &20\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{20}{20}}\implies A=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1\implies A=50$
