View VOLUME OF A CONE

[size=150][b]Use the following applet to complete the table in your lesson packet. What do you notice about the relationship between the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a cone? [/b][/size]
The sliders control the radius and height of the cylinder and cone below. Adjust the sliders to the measurements indicated in your lesson packet.
ADDITIONAL APPLET- not to be used to complete the table in lesson packet. If you finish the table early you may use the sliders to change the radius (r) and height (h) of the cylinder and the cone. You may slide (t) to adjust the position of the cylinder
1.
What is similar between the two figures?
2.
What happens when you slide the cone over to the cylinder?
3.
What is exactly the same about the two figures?
4.
What would happen if I changed the height of the cylinder?
5.
What would happen if I changed the base?
6.
How much space do you think the cone takes up inside the cylinder?
Volume of a cone proof
7.
So explain each part of the volume equation. [br][If you need help, the formula is [math]\frac{1}{3}[/math](bxh).]
