A solid sphere of radius 12 inches is melted and cast into a right circular cone whose base diameter is times its slant height. If the radius of the sphere and the cone are the same, how many such cones can be made and how much material is left out?
A solid sphere of radius 12 inches is melted and cast into a right circular cone whose base diameter is times its slant height. If the radius of the sphere and the cone are the same, how many such cones can be made and how much material is left out?
The solid sphere is melted and recast into cones. The volume of material is the same before and after casting.
Volume of the sphere = . (1)
Volume of the right circular cone = . (2)
Diameter of the base of the cone
= slant height
= S (say). (3)
4R = 2S = 2 (H2 + R2)
2R2 = 2H
R = H. (4)
Volume of the cone
