Question
The volume of a cone is 27 cm3
. What is the volume of a cylinder that shares the same radius and height as the cone?

1 answer

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

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

Where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height of the cone.

Given that the volume of the cone is \( 27 , \text{cm}^3 \), we can express this as:

\[ \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = 27 \]

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

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

Notice that the volume of the cylinder is three times the volume of the cone, since the volume of the cone is multiplied by 3 to obtain the volume of the cylinder:

\[ V_{\text{cylinder}} = 3 \times V_{\text{cone}} = 3 \times 27 , \text{cm}^3 = 81 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the cylinder that shares the same radius and height as the cone is:

\[ \boxed{81 , \text{cm}^3} \]
