Question 11 Mensuration Exercise 17.2

If the volume of a right circular cone of height 9 cm is 48π cm3 , find the diameter of its base.

Answer:

Solution:

Consider a cone with a height of "h" and a circular base with radius "r." This cone's volume will be equal to one-third of the base's area multiplied by its height.

Given height of a cone, h = 9 cm

Volume of the cone = 48π

(1/3)π r2h = 48π

(1/3)π r2×9 = 48π

3r2 = 48

r2 = 48/3 = 16

r = 4

So diameter = 2×radius

= 2×4

= 8 cm

Hence the diameter of the cone is 8 cm. M L Aggarwal - Understanding ICSE Mathematics - Class 10 chapter Mensuration Question 11 Solution image
