Rule:

(Volume of Cone) = (1/3)*(Volume of Cylinder)

Note: the cone and cylinder have the same radius and height


(Volume of Cone) = (1/3)*(Volume of Cylinder)

3*(Volume of Cone) = Volume of Cylinder

Volume of Cylinder = 3*(Volume of Cone)

Volume of Cylinder = 3*(25)

Volume of Cylinder = 75 cubic feet
