• Recast – Here the sphere changes its shape into cone by melting which keeps the volume constant.
• Given, radius of sphere = 6cm and height of cone = 24cm.

Just imagine: A sphere is a piece of soft iron it melted in order to recast ( means to change the shape of that soft iron sphere ) it into cone form.
