A solid right circular cylinder is melted down and recast into a right circular cone with the same base radius. If the cylinder's height is h, what is the height of the cone?

  1. 3h

  2. 6h

  3. 4h

  4. 5h

Answer: A

Solution

Volumes are equal: \(\pi r^2h=\frac13\pi r^2H\). Cancelling the common terms gives h = H/3, so H = 3h.
