solution:  We have ,

                                      First cone                          Second cone 

Radii                              r_1= 1.6 cm                          r_2= 1.2 cm

Heights                          h_1=3.6 cm                            h_2=?

Volumes                              V_1                                 V_2

Clearly , Two cones have the same volume . i.e, 

                                   V_1 =V_2

Rightarrow                     frac13pi r^2_1h_1=frac13pi r^2_2h_2

Rightarrow                    r^2_1h_1=r^2_2h_2

Rightarrow                     h_2= fracr^2_1h_1r^2_2Rightarrow h_2=frac1.6 imes1.6 imes3.61.2 imes 1.2cm = frac16 imes16 imes3612 imes12 imes10=6.4cm
