Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. Jelöljük R-rel a gömb, r-rel a henger sugarát, és m-mel a henger magasságát.

Ekkor az ábra alapján a Pitagorasz-tételt felírva:

(2R)^2 = (2r)^2 + (\frac43R)^2,

ahonnan

r^2 = \frac59R^2.

A térfogatok aránya innen

\frac{V_{\rm{henger}}}{V_{\rm{g\"omb}}} = \frac{r^2 \pi m}{\frac{4R^3 \pi}3} = \frac{\frac{5R^2 \pi}9 \cdot \frac43R}{\frac{4R^3 \pi}3}  = \frac59.

Tehát a henger a gömb térfogatának \frac59-része.
