Problem
An inverted cone with base radius 
and height 
is full of water. The water is poured into a tall cylinder whose horizontal base has radius of 
. What is the height in centimeters of the water in the cylinder?
Solution 1
The volume of a cone is 
where 
is the base radius and 
is the height. The water completely fills up the cone so the volume of the water is 
.
The volume of a cylinder is 
so the volume of the water in the cylinder would be 
.
We can equate these two expressions because the water volume stays the same like this 
. We get 
and 
.
So the answer is 
-abhinavg0627
Solution 2
The water completely fills up the cone. For now, assume the radius of both cone and cylinder are the same. Then the cone has 
of the volume of the cylinder, and so the height is divided by 
. Then, from the problem statement, the radius is doubled, meaning the area of the base is quadrupled (since 
).
Therefore, the height is divided by and divided by 
, which is
