Answer:
A. The volume of the cone is about 2261.95 cubic centimeters less than the volume of the cylinder.
Explanation:
Let's go ahead and determine the volume of each of the shapes.
The volume of a cone can be found using the below formula;
[tex]V=\pi\times r^2\times\frac{h}{3}[/tex]
where r = radius = 6 cm
h = height = 12 cm
pi = 3.142
Let's input the above values into our formula and solve for V;
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=3.142\times6^2\times\frac{12}{3} \\ V=3.142\times36\times4 \\ \therefore V=452.448\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The volume of a cylinder can be found using the below formula;
[tex]V=\pi\times r^2\times h[/tex]
where pi = 3.142
r = radius = 12 cm
h = height = 6 cm
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=3.142\times12^2\times6 \\ =3.142\times144\times6 \\ \therefore V=2714.688\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]
If we subtract the volume of the cone from that of the cylinder, we'll have;
[tex]2714.688-452.448=2262.24\operatorname{cm}[/tex]
We can see that the volume of the cone is about 2,262 cubic centimeters less than the volume of the cylinder.
