The volume of the pyramid and cone is one third the volume of the corresponding (ie same [size] base and height) prism and cylinder.
democritus calculated the volume of pyramids and cones
Volumes are cubic measures. Use a 3.
A meter is a measure of distance and cannot be a measure of volume. Therefore the question is incorrect in stating that the the numbers refer to volumes rather than lengths of edges, or it is incorrect in the units used for the volumes. Either of these errors make it impossible to answer the question in a sensible way.
The cone has 1/3 of the volume of the cylinder.
The volume of a cone is 1/3 of the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height
A cone is 1/3 of the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height. A pyramid is 1/3 of the volume of a prism with the same base and height.

The relationship between the formulas is that in all the radius is cubed.
you would use a graduated cylinder to measure volumes of liquids

A graduated cylinder! -------------------------------------------------- For small volumes in a chemical laboratory are used also pipettes and burettes. For big volumes exist calibrated buckets.
It isn't. If the cylinder and the cone have the same height and radius, the cylinder has a larger volume (twice as large). If they do not have the same height and radius you need more information to prove their relative volumes.
