Q14 of 70 Page 21

A cone and a hemisphere have equal bases and equal volumes the ratio of their heights is

Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)πr3


Volume of a right circular cone = (1/3)πr2h


Given, cone and a hemisphere have equal bases and equal volume


Height of a hemisphere is the radius and equal bases implies equal base radius.


(2/3)πr3 = (1/3)πr2h


⇒ r : h = 1 : 2
