The height and the slant height of a cone are 12 cm and 20 cm respectively. Find its volume. (π = 3.14)
Given.
Slant height of cone = 20 cm
Height of cone = 12 cm
Formula used/Theory.
Volume of cone =
πr2h
In cone,
The Radius, height and slant height makes a right angled triangle
With hypotenuse as slant height of triangle
∴ By Pythagoras Theorem
Radius2 + Height2 = (slant height) 2
Radius2 + (12 cm) 2 = (20 cm) 2
Radius2 + 144 cm2 = 400 cm2
Radius2 = 400 cm2 – 144 cm2
Radius = √(256 cm2) = 16 cm
Volume of Cone =
πr2h
=
× 3.14 × 16cm × 16cm × 12cm
= 3.14 × 16cm × 16cm × 4cm
= 3215.36 cm3
