Given:
radius of the cone = half the radius of the cylinder
height of the cone = radius of the cylinder

Volume of the cone = π r² h/3

let x be the radius of the cylinder

V = 3.14 * (x/2)² * x/3
V = 3.14 * (x/2 * x/2) * x/3
V = 3.14 * x²/4 * x/3
V = 3.14x³ / 12

The answer is π r³/12.

The radius of the cylinder is r.
The radius of the cone is half of the radius of the cylinder: r/2.
The height of the cone is equal to the radius of the cylinder: r.

If the volume of the cone is π r²h/3, and the radius of the cone is r/2, and the height of the cone is r, then:
V = π × r² × h / 3
V = π × (r/2)² × r / 3
V = π × r²/4 × r / 3
V = π r³/12
