if look at the picture below

the height, and radius for both is the same, whatever those may be

thus
\bf \begin{array}{llll} \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h\\\\ V=whatever \end{array}\qquad \begin{array}{llll} \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\\\\ V=\cfrac{whatever}{3} \end{array}
