A cylinder and a cone have the same base and height. The cylinder can hold about 4 comma 712 cm cubed of sand. Jared says that the cone can hold about 1 comma 178 cm cubed of sand. Which explains whether Jared is correct?
Answer
A
Jared is not correct because the cone and the cylinder have the same base and height so the cone holds 4712 thirds almost equal to 1571 cm cubed of sand.
B
Jared is correct because the cone and the cylinder have the same base and height so the cone holds 4712 fourths is equal to 1178 cm cubed of sand.
C
Jared is not correct because the volume of the cone cannot be found without knowing the radius of the base and the height of the cone.
D
Jared is correct because the volume of the cone is less than the volume of the cylinder. The cone holds 4712 minus 1178 is equal to 3534 cm cubed less sand than the cylinder.
