A:
Answer:[tex]\large\boxed{\dfrac{V_{cone}}{V_{prism}}=\dfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:[tex]\text{The formula of a volume of a cone:}\ V_{cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}B_cH_c\\\\B_c-base\ area\ of\ a\ cone\\H_c-height\ of\ a\ cone\\\\\text{The formula of a volume of a prism:}\ V_{prism}=B_pH_p\\\\B_p-base\ area\ of\ a\ prism\\H_p-height\ of\ a\ prism\\\\\text{The cone and the prism have the same base area and height.}\\\text{Therefore}\\\\V_{cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}BH\ \text{and}\ V_{prism}=BH\\\\\text{The ratio of the volume of the cone to the volume of the prism:}[/tex][tex]\dfrac{V_{cone}}{V_{prism}}=\dfrac{\frac{1}{3}BH}{BH}=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
