The volume of a cylinder is 156 x cm3. what is the volume of a cone with the same base and height as the cylinder?
39 x cm
52 cm
78 cm
156 cm

SECOND OPTION (52 cm³)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the volume of a cone is:

Where r is the radius and h is the height.

 The formula for calculate the volume of a cylinder is:

Where r is the radius and h is the height.

As you can see, the difference between the the formulas is that r²hπ of the cone is divided by 3. Therefore, if you know the volume of the cylinder and you know that the cone has the same base and height as the cylinder, you have to divide the volume of the cylinder by 3 to obtain the volume of the cone.

Therefore, the result is:

answer: no, but if it does it's a obvious pattern.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
