Question 2 Mensuration Exercise 17.2

Take π = 22/7 unless stated otherwise.

Write whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answer.

If the radius of a right circular cone is halved and its height is doubled, the volume will remain unchanged.

Answer:

Solution:

Assume that a cone has a height of "h" and a circular base with radius "r." This cone will have a volume that is one-third of the product of the base's area and its height.

Volume of cone = (1/3)π r2h

If radius is halved and height is doubled, then volume = (1/3)π (r/2)2 2h = (1/3)π r2h/2

If the radius of a right circular cone is halved and its height is doubled, the volume will be halved.

So given statement is false.
