1 answer

The volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by the formula:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

If the cylinder has a volume of 60 cm³, that means:

\[ \pi r^2 h = 60 \text{ cm}^3 \]

To find the volume of the cone with the same radius and height, we use the cone's volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

Substituting the expression for the cylinder's volume:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 60 \text{ cm}^3 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ V = 20 \text{ cm}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the cone that shares the same radius and height as the cylinder is \( \boxed{20 \text{ cm}^3} \).
