Question 1036121: How do you find the dimensions of a plastic cup that would hold about the same amount of ice cream as a cone shaped container? Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A cone has the volume of 1/3 base (the full circle, the "top" of the icecream cone) times height.
Therefore the same soup-can cylinder can be 1/3 as tall to have the same volume.
