Volume of a cone = (1/3) pi x r^2 x h

Volume of a cylinder = pi x r^2 x h

Volume of the cylinder = pi x 2^2 x 3 = 37.68 cubic inches

Now set the volume for the cone to the volume of the cylinder and solve for the height.

37.68 = (1/3) x pi x r^2 x h

37.68 = (1/3) x pi x 3^2 x h

37.68 = (1/3) x pi x 9 x h

37.68 = 9.42 x h

h = 37.68 / 9.42

h = 4

The height of the cone is 4 cm.
