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