A cylinder and a cone have the same volume. The cylinder has a radius of 2 inches and a hieght of 3 inches. The cone has a radius of 3 inches. What is the hieght of the cone?

Respuesta :

The height of the cone is inches, if the cylinder and cone have the same volume.The cylinder has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 3 inches. The cone has a radius of 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

          A cylinder and a cone have the same volume

          Cylinder has a radius 2 inches and height of 3 inches.

          Cone has a radius of 3 inches

Step:1

           For Cylinder'

           Formula to calculate the volume of cylinder is,

                        [tex]V = \pi r^{2} h[/tex]..................................................(1)

          where,

                      r - 2 inches

                      h - 3 inches

         From the equation (1)

                           = [tex]\pi[/tex] × [tex]2^{2}[/tex] × 3

                           = 37.70

                        V = 37.70 cubic inches

Step:2

         For cone,

         Formula to calculate the volume of cone is,

                     [tex]V = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}[/tex]..................................................(2)

         From the statement,

                      cylinder and a cone have the same volume

                      [tex]V_{cylinder}[/tex] = [tex]V_{cone}[/tex]

                          37.70 = [tex]\pi[/tex] × [tex]3^{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

                          37.70 = 9.42478 × h

Height of the cone, h = 4 inches

Result:

            Thus the height of the cone is 4 inches, if a cylinder and cone have the same volume.The cylinder has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 3 inches. The cone has a radius of 3 inches.
