Question 450765: A right cone and a right cylinder have the same volume and same radii how many times taller is the cone than the cylinder?

Let the common volume and radius be equal to V and r, and let the heights of the cone and cylinder be 
and 
respectively. Using the area for a cone,
And for a cylinder,
These two are equal, so
Hence, the height of the cone is three times as much as the height of the cylinder.
