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
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
