A cone has a volume of 5 cubic inches. What is the volume of a cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of?

15 in3

20 in3

25 in3

30 in3

Volume of a cone = (1/3) πr²h

Volume of a cylinder=πr²h

The cone has the same radius (r) and height than the cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of.

dа ta:

Volume of a cone=5 in³

Then:

(1/3) πr²h=5 in³

πr²h=3 (5 in³)

πr²h=15 in³ (remember: volume of a cylinder=πr²h)

Then the volume of a cylinder that the cone fits exactly inside of would be:

15 in³
