Considering the volume of a cone, it is found that:
- The height of the smaller funnel is about 2.72 inches.
- The height of the larger funnel is about 3.06 inches.
What is the volume of a cone?
The volume of a cone of radius r and height h is given by:
[tex]V = \frac{\pi r^2h}{3}[/tex]
For cone 1, we have that V = 0.5 x 28.875 = 14.4375 in³ and r = 2.25 in(half the diameter), hence:
[tex]\frac{\pi (2.25)^2h}{3} = 14.4375[/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{14.4375 \times 3}{\pi \times (2.25)^2}[/tex]
[tex]h = 2.72[/tex]
For cone 2, we have that V = 28.875 in³ and r = 3 in, hence:
[tex]\frac{\pi (2.25)^2h}{3} = 28.875[/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{28.875 \times 3}{\pi \times (3)^2}[/tex]
[tex]h = 3.06[/tex]
