Answer:
16cm

Explanation:
Volume of a cylinder/ cone = π × r² × h ( Pie × radius square × height)

The cylinder The cone
Radius = 4cm Radius = 3cm
Height = 9cm Height = X(unknown yet)
Volume = π × 4² × 9 Volume = π × 3² × x
Answer a = 452.389cm³ Answer b= 28.274x

To find the height of the cone;
= Answer a divided by answer b to find X (the height)
= 452.389 ÷ 28.274χ
χ= 16.00cm
