Explanation

Given that both the cylinder and cone have identical radius and volume, the volume formulas are V_cylinder = πr²h_cylinder and V_cone = (1/3)πr²h_cone. Equating volumes, πr²h_cylinder = (1/3)πr²h_cone, which simplifies to h_cylinder = (1/3)h_cone. Therefore, the height ratio of cylinder to cone is 1:3.
