Answer:
The bases do not have the same area because the volume of the cylinder is not 3 times the volume of the cone, given the same heights.
Explanation:
Recall :
V1 = volume of cylinder = πr²h
V2 = volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h
From the diagram, both have height, h of 12
Radius = r
V1 = 2512 in
V2 = 1256 in
From the ratio :
2512 = πr² * 12
1256 = 1/3πr² * 12
12 cancel out as well as r² and π
If the bases have the same area `, then 2512 should be equal to (1256 * 3)
2512 in ≠ 3868 in
