If a cone is inscribed inside a cylinder of the same base and height, what is the ratio of the volume of the cone to that of the cylinder?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given:
Base radius of the cone and cylinder = r
Height of the cone and cylinder = h
By formula:
Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
Volume of the cone = (1/3)πr²h
Cone : cylinder = (1/3)πr²h : πr²h = 1 : 3
