The radius and height of a right circular cone are in the ratio of 5 : 12. If its volume is 314 cm3, find the slant height and radius of the cone, (straight pi= 3.14) 

Let the radius and height of the cone be 5k and 12k respectively. Then,
r = 5k
h = 12k

      space space space space space space space space space straight V equals 1 third πt squared straight h equals 314

A semi-circular sheet of metal of diameter 28 cm is bent to form an open conical cup. Find the capacity of the cup.

When a semi-circular sheet is bent to form an open conical cup, the radius of the sheet becomes the slant height of the cup and the circumference of the sheet becomes the circumference of the base of the cone.


therefore space space space space space space space space space space space space l italic space equals 28 over 2 space cm space equals space 14 space cm

Let the base radius of the cup be r cm. Then,
2nr = π x 14

rightwards double arrow space space space space space space space space space space space space space space straight r equals 7 space cm

Let the height of the cup be h cm. Then\

Find the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be placed in a cube of edge 7 cm. 

For largest cone

Base radius (r) = 7 over 2 cm
Height (h) = 7 cm

therefore    Volume = 1 third πr squared straight h

                   equals 1 third.22 over 7.7 over 2.7 over 2.7
equals space 539 over 6 space cm cubed

A conical vessel whose internal radius is 5 cm and height 63 cm is full of oil. Find the the volume of the oil. If that oil is emptied into a cylindrical vessel with internal radius 10 cm, find the height of the oil in the cylindrical vessel.

For conical vessel
r = 5 cm h = 63 cm
∴ Volume of the oil

equals 1 third πr squared straight h
equals 1 third.22 over 7.5.5.63
equals 1650 space cm cubed
Let the required height be 4 cm. Then, according to the question, π(10)2H = 1650

rightwards double arrow space space 22 over 7 cross times 100 straight H equals 1650
rightwards double arrow space space space straight H equals fraction numerator 1650 cross times 7 over denominator 22 cross times 100 end fraction equals 5.25 space cm
