The volume of a cylinder is 32.25 cubic inches. If a cone has the same height and radius as the cylinder, what is its volume?


8.06 cu. in.


10.75 cu. in.


21.5 cu. in.


32.25 cu. in.

Verified Answer :

10.75 cu.in., as volume of a cylinder is 3 times bigger than volume of a cone, according to their equations:
\(V_{cylinder} = \pi^{2} rh V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \pi^{2} rh\)

Answer:

option 2nd is correct

volume of a cone is, 10.75 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone (V) is given by:

\(V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h\)            ......[1]

where,

r is the radius of the cone and h is the height of the cone respectively.

As per the statement:

The volume of a cylinder is 32.25 cubic inches.

Volume of a cylinder is given by:

\(\text{Volume of a cylinder} = \pi r^2h\)

⇒\(32.25 = 3.14 \cdot r^2h\)

Divide both side by 3.14 we have;

\(10.27 =(r')^2(h')\)

\(r

o(r')^2(h)= 10.27\)

It is also given that a cone has the same height and radius as the cylinder.

⇒\(r' = r\) and \(h' = h\)

⇒\(r^2h = 10.27\)

Using formula [1] we have;

\(V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 10.27\)

Simplify:

\(V = 10.75\) cubic inches

therefore, volume of a cone is, 10.75 cubic inches
