Cavalieri's Principle and Volume of Composite Figures

Question 4 • SS26 Math 3 S2 [M3960OX]

Is Erik’s statement correct? Why or why not?

Answer
A
Yes, the solids are both cones and appear to have the same volumes.
B
Yes, the area of the bases and the heights of the cones are the same, so the volumes are equal.
C
No, the heights of the cones are not the same, so Cavalieri’s principle does not apply.
