Answer:
18 cubic inches
Explanation:
The formulas for the volumes of a cone and a cylinder can be used to answer this question.
Volume formulas
The volume of a cone is given by ...
V = 1/3πr²h . . . . . volume of cone with radius r and height h
The volume of a cylinder is given by ...
V = πr²h . . . . . volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h
Relation between volumes
Comparing the formulas, we see that the volume of a cone is 1/3 the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height.
(cone volume) = 1/3(cylinder volume)
Multiplying this equation by 3 gives ...
3×(cone volume) = (cylinder volume)
Using the given value for cone volume, we have ...
cylinder volume = 3×(6 in³) = 18 in³
The volume of the cylinder is 18 cubic inches.
