  1. Each of the measure of the radius of base of a cone and that of a sphere is 8 cm. Also, the volume of these two solids are equal. The slant height of the cone is
    1. 8√17 cm
    2. 4√17 cm
    3. 34√2 cm
    4. 34 cm.
Correct Option: A

Volume of sphere =
4
π × 8³ = Volume of cone
3

Volume of cone =
4
π r²h
3

1
× π × 8 × 8 × h
3

=
4
× π × 8³
3

⇒ h= 32 cm.
∴ Slant height = √h² + r² = √32² + 8² = √1024 + 64
= √64(16 + 1) = 8√17 cm.
