The formula to find the volume of cylinder is


\pi r^(2) h

The radius of cylinder = 2 in

Height of the cylinder = 3 in

Substituting the values of r = 2 & h = 3

We get

Volume of cylinder


\pi2^(2) (3)= 12\pi

The formula to find the volume of cone is


(1)/(3)\pi r^(2) h

The radius of the cone is given as 3 inches

Substituting in the formula we get


(1)/(3) \pi 3^(2)h= 3\pi h

But the volumes are given equal

So


3\pi h= 12\pi

Dividing by 3
\pi on both sides

we get

h = 4

The height of the cone is 4 inches.
