Answer

$\dfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3} $

Work Step by Step

The volume of a region can be calculated as: Now, $V=\pi \int_{0}^{h} [\dfrac{r}{h}(h-y)]^2 \ dy \\ =\dfrac{r^2\pi}{h^2} \int_{0}^{h} (h-y)^2 \ dy $ Let us apply the substitution method such that: $a=h-y \implies dy=-da$ $V= - \dfrac{r^2\pi}{h^2} \int_{0}^{h} a^2 \ da\\=\dfrac{r^2\pi}{h^2} [\dfrac{(h-y)^3}{3}]_{0}^{h} \\=\dfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3} $
