Answer:
VOL_cone is 70.7
which is LESS THAN
the vol of cylinder. VOL_cyl is 71.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cone:
V= (1/3)pi•r^2 • h
=(1/3)pi•3^2 • 7.5
= 70.7 cubic inches
(rounded to tenths this is the same if you use a pi key on the calculator or if you use 3.14)
The Volume of a cylinder:
V = pi•r^2 • h
= pi• 2.25^2 • 4.5
= 71.6 cubic inches
(more accurate with pi key, using 3.14 it rounds to 71.5)
The last blank could be the words "less than" but if they are asking for a fraction or percent, calculate by putting the big number on the bottom and the smaller number on top.
