The volume of a right circular cone is 300 cubic inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of a right cylinder th
has the same base and height as the cone?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of the cylinder is 900 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let V1 represent the volume of a cone and V2 represents the volume of a cylinder

[tex]V_1 = 300in^3[/tex]

Required

Determine the volume of a cylinder with same dimension

The volume of a cone is calculated as:

[tex]V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as:

[tex]V_2 = \pi r^2h[/tex]

Since, the cone and cylinder have the same dimensions, we can substitute [tex]\pi r^2h[/tex] for [tex]V_2[/tex] in [tex]V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]V_1 = \frac{1}{3} * V_2[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]3 * V_1 = \frac{1}{3} * V_2 * 3[/tex]

[tex]3 * V_1 = V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = 3 * V_1[/tex]

Substitute [tex]300in^3[/tex] for [tex]V_1[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = 3 * 300in^3[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = 900in^3[/tex]

Hence, the volume of the cylinder is 900 cubic inches
