Find the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube whose edge is 7 cm.

The figure is shown below:


Give that, edge of cube is 7 cm


⇒ largest possible height of cone(h) is 7 cm and diameter of base(d) is 7 cm


⇒ radius(r) =


⇒ the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube whose edge is 7 cm



= 89.83 cm2
