Answer 2

Explanation:

Given:

The volume of a cylinder is 30π cubic units.

A cone shares the same base.

The height of the cone is twice the height of the cylinder.

We need to determine the volume of the cone.

Height of the Cone:

Let h denote the height of the cylinder.

Let H denote the height of the cone.

Since, it is given that, the height of the cone is twice the height of the cylinder, we have;

H=2h

Volume of the cylinder:

The formula to determine the volume of the cylinder is

V=πr^2h

Since, volume of the cylinder is 30π , we get;

30π=πr^2-------(1)

Volume of the cone:

The formula to determine the volume of the cone is

v=1/3πr^2H

Substituting H=2h , we get;

v=1/3πr^2(2h)

v=1/3πr^2h

Substituting equation (1), we get;

V=2/3(30π)

v=20π

Thus, the volume of the cone is 20π
