a cone of radius 10 cm is cut into two part of a plan through the mindpiont. Of its vertical axis parallel to the base find the ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the frustum of the cone
Answers
AnswEr :
It is given that cone is divided through a plane, at midpoint which shows that big cone is divided into a "small cone" and a "frustum".
Also, the cone id divided from midpoint, so height of small cone and frustum will be equal and radius of small cone is half of big cone.
Answer:
★ Ratio will be 1:7 ★
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Radius (BC) of bigger cone is 10 cm
- Height of bigger cone is OB (2h)
To Find:
- Ratio of volume of smaller cone to the frustum of the cone
Solution: When we cut the cone into two parts by the plane through the mid point of its vertical axis parallel to its base then we will get a smaller cone and a frustum. ( See figure)
→ 'r' = AD is the radius of base of the smaller cone ←
→ 'h' = OA is the height of smaller cone = AB = Height of the frustum = 1/2 of OB
→ '2h' = OB ( OA = OB)
Now, In ∆OAD & ∆OBC we have,
→ ∠A = ∠A = 90°
→ ∠OAD = ∠OBC [ Corresponding angles because AD is parallel to BC ]
∴ ∆OAD ~ ∆ OBC by AA similarity
∵The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional to each other
∴ OA / OB = AD / BC
→ h / 2h = r / R
→ r / R = 1 / 2
→ r = 1 / 2 x R
→ r = 1 / 2 x 10 .....( Radius is 10 cm)
→ r = 5 cm
† Volume of cone = 1/3 π(r)²h
∴ Volume of smaller cone = 1/3π(5)²h............(1)
∴ Volume of bigger cone = 1/3π(10)²2h.........(2)
† Volume of frustum will be = Volume of bigger cone – volume of smaller cone
∴ Volume of frustum = 1/3π(10)²2h – 1/3π(5)²h
1/3πh ( 200 – 25 )
1/3πh x 175 .........(3)
★ From equation (1) and (3) we will get
The ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the volume of the frustum ★
→ Volume of smaller cone / Volume of frustum
1/3π(5)²h / 1/3πh(175)
→ After calculation and cancelling all similar terms, we will get
25 / 175
1 / 7
Hence, The ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the frustum of the cone will be 1:7
