The volume of a cylinder is 40ft^3. Which expression represents the volume of a cone with the same base and height as the cylinder?
3(40)ft^3
3(1/40)ft^3
1/3(40)ft^3
1/3(40^2)ft^3

Respuesta :

The third one, 1/3(40)ft^3, due to the fact that the volume of a cone is 1/3 that of a cylinder. This is shown from their formulas.
Cylinder
[tex] \pi r^{2} h[/tex]
Cone
[tex] \frac{ \pi r^{2} h}{3} [/tex]

Answer:

The volume of a cone is [tex]\frac{1}{3}(40)\ ft^{3}[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

[tex]Volume\ of\ a\ cylinder = \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

[tex]Volume\ of\ a\ cone = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

Where r is the radius and h is the height .

As given

The volume of a cylinder is 40 ft ³ .

[tex]40= \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

[tex]Volume\ of\ a\ cone = \frac{1}{3}\times 40[/tex]

[tex]Volume\ of\ a\ cone = \frac{1}{3}(40)\ ft^{3}[/tex]

Therefore the volume of a cone is [tex]\frac{1}{3}(40)\ ft^{3}[/tex] .
