Question

A cone has a radius of 2 feet and a height of 3 feet. How many cones of liquid would it take to fill a cylinder with a diameter of 4 feet and a height of 3 feet?

Answer 1

3 cones

Explanation:

The cone has a radius of 2 feet and a height of 3 feet.

The cylinder has a diameter of 4 feet and a height of 3 feet.

This means the cylinder has a radius of 2 feet and a height of 3 feet.

The cylinder and cone has the same radius and height.

To find the number of cone liquid that is required, we divide the volume of cylinder by volume of cone.

`\frac{\pi {r}^(2) h}{ (1)/(3) \pi {r}^(2) h} = (1)/( (1)/(3) ) = 3`
