Suppose a sphere and a cone share the same radius and the height of the cone is twice the radius. Which ratio describes the relationship between the formulas for the volume of a cone to the volume of a sphere?

1 : 3
Wrong
I apologize for the mistake. The correct ratio describing the relationship between the formulas for the volume of a cone to the volume of a sphere is:
1 : 3
It is not 1:3
I apologize for the confusion. Let's reassess the question.
The volume of a cone is given by Vcone = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height. In this case, h = 2r.
The volume of a sphere is given by Vsphere = (4/3) * π * r^3.
Given that the cone and sphere have the same radius, we can simplify the cone volume formula to Vcone = (2/3) * π * r^3.
Therefore, the ratio of the volume of a cone to the volume of a sphere is:
(2/3) * π * r^3 : (4/3) * π * r^3
Simplifying this ratio, we get:
2 : 4
Which further simplifies to:
1 : 2
Therefore, the correct ratio is 1 : 2 describing the relationship between the formulas for the volume of a cone to the volume of a sphere. Thank you for your patience.
