11. Without calculating, which cone has a

greater volume: one with a height of 6
inches and radius of 4 inches or one with a
height of 4 inches and radius of 6 inches?

Answer: 32π cubic inches.

Explanation:

Both cones have the same volume because the volume of a cone depends on both its height and radius, not just one or the other. However, the formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. So we can calculate the volumes of each cone to confirm that they are indeed equal:

Cone 1 with height of 6 inches and radius of 4 inches:

V = (1/3)π(4²)(6) = 32π

Cone 2 with height of 4 inches and radius of 6 inches:

V = (1/3)π(6²)(4) = 32π

Therefore, both cones have the same volume of 32π cubic inches.
