The volume of a cylinder is 180 cubed meters. What is the volume of a cone with the same radius and height as the cylinder?

Respuesta :

Answer:

60 cubic meters will be the volume of such cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for volume of a cylinder:

[tex]V = \pi r^{2} h ...... (1)[/tex]

Where [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of base of cylinder

and [tex]h[/tex] is the height of cylinder

V = 180 cubic meters

Formula for volume of a cone:

[tex]V' = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi R^{2} H ...... (2)[/tex]

Where [tex]R[/tex] is the radius of base of cone

and [tex]H[/tex] is the height of cone

Now, it is given that height and radius of cone are equal.

[tex]r = R\\h =H[/tex]

Putting the values in equation (2):

[tex]V' = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

Using equation (1):

[tex]V' = \dfrac{1}{3} \times V[/tex]

Putting V = 180 cubic meters

[tex]\Rightarrow V' = \dfrac{1}{3} \times 180\\\Rightarrow V'=60 \text { cubic meters}[/tex]

Hence, 60 cubic meters will be the volume of such cone.
