Question 990690: A cone shaped cup is used to fill a cylindrical container. The cup has the same height and radius as the container. By calculating the volume of the cone and the cylinder, find the number of times that the cone shape cup can completely fill the cylindrical container. Answer by ikleyn(52788) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
The volume of a cone is (one third) of the volume of a cylinder which has the same height as the cone and the same base radius as the cone.
So, you need 3 (three) volumes of cone to fill the cylinder.
