Question

What is the ratio of the volume of cone A to the volume of cone B? Express your answer as a common fraction. FIGURE

Accepted Answer

Let x = 14.8 and y = 28.3. Then the volume of cone A is 13 x^2 y, and the volume of cone B is 13 y^2 x, so the desired ratio is 13 x^2 y13 xy^2 = xy = 14.828.3 = 148283.
