The radius and height of a right circular cone are in the ratio 5 : 12 and its volume is 2512 cubic cm. Find the slant height and radius of the cone. (Use π = 3.14)

Answer»

We have, 

Let radius of cone r = 5x 

Let height h = 12x 

∴ Volume = 2512 m3 

= \(\frac{1}{3}\)×3.14×25x2×12x = 2512

= x3 = 8 

= x = 2  

∴r = 10 and h = 24 cm 

Hence,

slant height l = \(\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\) 

= l =\(\sqrt{100+576}\) 

= 26 m

29.

The radius and height of a right circular cone are in the ratio 5 : 12 and its volume is 2512 cubic cm. Find the slant height and radius of the cone. (Use π=3.14).

Answer»

Let the ratio of radius and height of a right circular cone be y. 

Radius of cone(r) = 5 y 

Height of cone (h) =12 y 

Now we know, 

l2 = r2 + h2 

= (5y)2 + (12y)2 

= 25 y2 + 144 y2 

or l = 13y 

Now, volume of the cone is given 2512 cm3 

\(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2h = 2512 

\(\frac{1}{3}\) x 3.14 x (5y)2 x 12y = 2512 

⇒ y3 = (2512 x 3)/(3.14 x 25 x 12) 

= 8 

or y = 2

Therefore, 

Radius of cone = 5y = 5 x 2 = 10 cm 

Slant height (l) = 13y = 13 x 2 = 26 cm
