Answer:

15

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of Cone= 5
inch ^(3)

Solution:

Formula:

Volume of Cone =
$(1)/(3) \pi r^(2) h$

Volume of Cylinder=
$\pi r^(2) h$

$\therefore$ We can say that

Volume of Cone =
(1)/(3) * Volume of Cylinder

$\therefore$ Volume of cylinder = 3
Volume of Cone

Now Substituting given data we get

Volume of Cylinder= 3
5

Volume of Cylinder= 15
