Answer: 72 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cone: [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h[/tex]
Formula for the volume of a cylinder: [tex]\pi r^{2}h[/tex]
We are given that a cylinder should fit exactly inside the cone
Upon comparing the two equations above, we get:
[tex]$Volume of cone = \dfrac{1}{3}\text{Volume of cylinder}[/tex]
Since we are given the volume of cone is 24 cubic inches, we can write down the below:
[tex]24 = \dfrac{1}{3}\text{Volume of cylinder }\\ \text{Volume of cylinder = 72 cubic inches}[/tex]
Therefore, we can conclude that if the volume of the cylinder is 72 cubic inches, then the cone with volume of 24 cubic inches can fit exactly in.
