Part A r =
6√(2) units & h = 2 units:

Explanation:

Here we have , cones A and B both have volume 48(3.14) cubic units but they have different dimensions. Cone A has radius 6 units and height 4 units. We need to find:

Part A

Find one possible radius and height for Cone B.

Since , volume of cone A and B are same so ,

Volume of cone A =
V_1 , Volume of cone V =
V_2

By hit & trial , One possible radius and height for Cone B is r =
6√(2) units & h = 2 units:


V_2 = (1)/(3)\pi r^2h


V_2 = (1)/(3)(3.14) (6√(2))^2(2)


V_2 = 48units^3

Part B

Explain how you know Cone B has the same volume as Cone A. ​

Volume of cone A =
V_1 :

Cone A has radius 6 units and height 4 units, So


V_1 = (1)/(3)\pi r^2h


V_1 = (1)/(3)(3.14) (6})^2(4)


V_2 = 48units^3

Volume of cone V =
V_2


V_2 = (1)/(3)\pi r^2h


V_2 = (1)/(3)(3.14) (6√(2))^2(2)


V_2 = 48units^3

Hence, Volume of both are same!
