Answer:

The proportion of the volume of the cone to the volume of the pyramid is: 3.14 times bigger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information of the cone:

  • The height: 12 inches
  • The radius of the base is : 10/2= 5 inches

=> the volume of the cone

= 1/3π[tex]r^{2} *h[/tex]

= 1/3*3.14*[tex]5^{2} *12[/tex]

= 314 cubic inches

Given the information of the pyramid:

  • the height: 12 inches
  • The base is a suqare with a side lengh = 5 inches  

=> the volume of the pyramid:

= 1/3*Bh            (where B is the area of the base)

= 1/3*5*5*12

= 100 cubic inches

The proportion of the volume of the cone to the volume of the pyramid is:

= 314 /100

= 3.14 times bigger.

Hope it will find you well
