The surface area of a sphere of radius 5 cm is five times the area of the curved surface of a cone of radius 4 cm. Find the height and the volume of the cone (taking π = ).
Show solution
Solution: Surface area of the sphere = 4π × 5 × 5 cm2. Curved surface area of the cone = π × 4 × l cm2, where l is the slant height of the cone. According to the statement 4π × 5 × 5 = 5 × π × 4 × l or l = 5 cm. Now, l 2 = h2 + r2 Therefore, (5) 2 = h2 + (4)2 where h is the height of the cone or (5)2 – (4)2 = h 2 or (5 + 4) (5 – 4) = h 2 or 9 = h2 or h = 3 cm 1 2 Volume of Cone = πr h 1 22 = × × 4 × 4 × 3 cm3 3 7 22 × 16 = cm3 = cm3 = 50.29 cm3 (approximately)
