Answer:

a. 50.27 ft³

b. 1/3

Explanation:

a. The volume of the cone is given by the formula ...

V = 1/3πr²h

For the given dimensions, the volume is ...

V = (1/3)π(4 ft)²(3 ft) = 16π ft³ ≈ 50.27 ft³

__

b. Recognizing that the cylinder's volume is given by the formula ...

V = πr²h

and that the radius and height are the same for both, the ratio of volumes is ...

(cone volume)/(cylinder volume) = (1/3πr²h)/(πr²h) = 1/3

The ratio of volumes is 1/3.
