Question

the height and slant height of a cone are 21cm and 28cm respectively.find the volume of the cone

Answer 1

Hi there !

_______________________

Height of the cone ( h ) = 21 cm.

Slant height ( l ) = 28 cm.

From l² = b² + h², we have ;

⇒ r = √ l² - h²

⇒ r = √ 28² - 21²

⇒ r = √ 784 - 441

⇒ r = √ 343

⇒r = 7 √ 7 cm.

So,

Volume of cone = $\mathsf {\frac {1} {3}}$ π r² h

$⇒ \mathsf{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \sqrt{7} \times 7 \sqrt{7} \times 21 } \\ \\ ⇒ \mathsf{22 \times 49 \times 7} \\ \\ ⇒ \mathsf{7546 \: cm {}^{3} }$
