Answer 1

Answer:

  1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism in terms of base area (B) and height (h) is ...

  V = Bh

The volume of a cone in terms of base area (B) and height (h) is ...

  V = (1/3)Bh

Then the desired ratio is ...

  cone volume / prism volume = ((1/3)Bh)/(Bh) = 1/3

The ratio of the volume of the cone to the volume of the prism is 1/3.
