Problema Solution

total surface area of cone is 12560 sq.cm Slant height of cone is 9 times the radius of cone. the cone is melted and converted to cylinder whose base area is equal to base area of cone. Find height of cylinder

Answer provided by our tutors

let


h = the slant height of the cone


r = the radius of the cone


A = 12,560 cm^2


H = the height of the cylinder


slant height of cone is 9 times the radius of cone:


h = 9r


the area of the cone is A = r^2 pi + r pi h


r^2 pi + r pi h = 12560


plug h = 9r into the last equation:


r^2 pi + r pi * 9r = 12560


r^2 pi + 9 r^2 pi = 12560


10 r^2 pi = 12560


r^2 pi = 1256


r = (1256/pi)^0.5


pi = 3.14


r = 20


the volume of the cylinder is equal to the volume of the cone:


r^2 pi * H = (1/3) r^2 pi (h^2 - r^2)^0.5 divide both sides by r^2 pi


H = (1/3) (h^2 - r^2)^0.5


H = (1/3) ((9r)^2 - r^2)^0.5


H = (1/3) r*(81 - 1)^0.5


H = (1/3) r*(81 - 1)^0.5


H = (1/3)*20*8.94


H = 59.6 cm is the height of the cone
