ANSWER

[tex]h= 4in.[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula;

[tex]v = \pi \: {r}^{2} h[/tex]

It was given that, the cylinder has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 3 inches.

This implies that,

[tex]v = \pi \times {2}^{2} \times 3[/tex]

[tex]v =12 \pi [/tex]

The volume of a cone is given by

[tex]v = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi {r}^{2} h[/tex]

The cone has a radius of 3 inches:

[tex]v=\frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times {3}^{2} h[/tex]

[tex]v=3 \pi h[/tex]

The two volumes are the same:

This implies that,

[tex]3 \pi h = 12\pi[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3π

[tex] h= 4in[/tex]
