Use the image to answer the question.

A cone is placed inside a cylinder. The apex of the cone touching the center of the top circle of the cylinder is highlighted with a dot. The cone with its base is drawn in dashed lines. The base of the cone is common with the base of the cylinder.

A sculptor created a design by carving a cone out of a cylinder. The cone and cylinder share the same radius and height. If the volume of the cylinder before removing the cone is 54 in.^3 , what is the volume of the amount remaining?

1 answer

Since the cone and cylinder have the same radius and height, they are similar in shape. Therefore, the volume of the cone is equal to one-third of the volume of the cylinder.

Let V be the volume of the cone and cylinder before removing the cone. We know that V is equal to 54 in.^3.

The volume of the cone is given by the formula Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.

Since the cone and cylinder have the same radius and height, we can let r and h represent the radius and height of both the cone and the cylinder.

Therefore, Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h = (1/3)πr^2h = (1/3)πr^2h.

Substituting the known values, we have V = (1/3)πr^2h = (1/3)π(3^2)(3).

Simplifying, V = 9π in.^3.

Therefore, the volume of the remaining amount after removing the cone is Vremaining = V - Vcone = 54 - 9π = 54 - 9(3.14159) = 54 - 28.2743 ≈ 25.7257 in.^3.
