Answer:
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given the diameter of both the cylinder and the cone is 8 inches, the radius is 8/2 = 4 inches.
The volume of the cylinder is Vcyl = π(4)²(3) = 48π cubic inches.
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr²h.
The volume of the cone is Vcone = (1/3)π(4)²(18) = 96π/3 = 32π cubic inches.
Therefore, the relationship between the volume of the cylinder and the cone is that the volume of the cone is exactly two-thirds of the volume of the cylinder.
We can see this by dividing the volume of the cylinder by the volume of the cone:
Vcyl/Vcone = (48π) / (32π) = 3/2
So, the volume of the cylinder is 1.5 times greater than the volume of the cone.
