A child reshapes a cone made up of clay of height 24cm and radius 6cm into a sphere. The radius (in cm) of the sphere is
-
- 6
- 12
- 24
- 48
- 6
Correct Option: A
Volume of the cone = | πr²h | |
3 |
= | × 6 × 6 × 24 cm³ | |
3 |
= Volume of the sphere If the radius of the sphere be r cm, then
πr³ = | × 6 × 6 × 24 | |||
3 | 3 |
⇒r³ = 6 × 6 × 6
∴ r = √6 × 6 × 6 = 6 cm.
