Let r and h be the radius and height of the one in scribed in the sphere of radius R.

Then, is ΔOBC, rt angle at B (h-r)2 + r2 = R2

h2 + R2- 2hR + h2 = R2

r2 = 2hR -h2

Then the volume v of the cone is, V=13*r2h =13π(2hRh2)h

=13π(2Rh2h3).

dVdh=π3(4Rh3h2).

d2Vdh2=π3(4R6h).

At dVdh=0

π3(4Rh3h2)=0.

4Rh – 3h2 = 0.

h(4R – 3h) = 0.

h = 0 and h=4R3

As h> 0, h=43.

At h=4R3,d2vdh2=π3[4R6*4rR3]

=13[4R8R]=43<0

h=4R3 is a point of maxima.

and r2=2hRh2=2*4R3R−(4R3)2

=3*8R2916R29

r2=8R29

Hence, Volume of Co

C D = ( 1 0 + x 2 ) 2 ( 1 0 x 2 ) 2 = 2 1 0 | x |

Area 

= 1 2 × C D × A B = 1 2 × 2 1 0 | x | ( 2 0 2 x 2 )

1 0 x 2 = 2 x

3x2 = 10

 x = k

3k2 = 10

From option let it be isosceles where AB = AC then

x = r 2 ( h r ) 2            

r 2 h 2 r 2 + 2 r h

x = 2 h r h 2 . . . . . . . . ( i )

 Now ar ( Δ A B C ) = Δ = 1 2 B C × A L

Δ = 1 2 × 2 2 h r a 2 × h        

then  x = 2 × 3 r 2 × r 9 r 2 4 = 3 2 r f r o m ( i )

B C = 3 r    

So A B = h 2 + x 2 = 9 r 2 4 + 3 r 2 4 = 3 r .

Hence Δ be equilateral having each side of length 3 r .
