cone = (1/3)π r^2 h
where r = 1.5
h = 12
find the volume of the cone, just plug in the values
Can = π r^2 h
r = 2
h = 2
volume of can = .....
compare to see which is larger.
take the difference to see which hold more
A cone-shaped glass and a tin can are filled with water. The height of the cone is 12" (12 inches) and it has a radius of 1.5" (1½ inches). The can is 2 inches high and has a diameter of 4 inches. Which container holds more water? How much more water does the larger container hold? Use 3.14 for π, and remember to use the correct units in your answer.
