Question:
A cylinder and a right circular cone are having the same base and same height. The volume of the cylinder is three times the volume of the cone.
Solution:
Let the radius of the base of a cylinder and a right circular cone be r and height be h. Then, Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
Volume of a cone = 1/3 πr2h
Volume of a cylinder = 3 x Volume of a cone
Hence, the volume of a cylinder is three times the volume of the right circular cone.
