A cylinder and a cone have the same volume. The cylinder has a radius of 8 inches and a height of 6 inches. The cone has a radius of 12 inches. What is the height of the cone?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]8\ in.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius and height of cylinder is 8 and 6 inches

Similarly the radius of cone is 12 inches

If they have same volume

Equate the volume of cylinder and cone

[tex]\Rightarrow \pi r^2h=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r'^2h'\\\\\Rightarrow \pi \cdot 8^2\times 6=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi \cdot 12^2\times h\\\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{64\times 18}{144}\\\\\Rightarrow h=8\ in.[/tex]

Therefore , the height of cone is 8 in.
