Study well

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sol:  Let the radius of the sphere = r cm. OD = OE = r Height of the cone EA = 12 cm Slant height AC = √{ 52 + 122 } = √169 = 13 cm. In ΔAEC and ODA we have ∠AEC = ∠ODA = 90° ⇒ ΔAEC ≃ ODA [ AA similarity ]   ⇒ OD / OA = EC / AC ⇒ r / ( 12 - r) = 5 / 13 ⇒ r = 10 / 3 cm ∴ Volume of the sphere  / Volume of the cone = ( 4/3)πr3 / (1/3)πr2h = (4 x 10/3 x 10/3 x 10/3) / (5x5x12) = 40 / 81 Volume of the sphere : Volume of the cone= 40 : 81
