The height of a right circular cone is 35 cm and the area of its curved surface is four times the area of its base. What is the volume of the cone (in $10^{-3} m^3$ and correct up to three decimal places)? |

2.994 |
We know that, Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) πr2h Curved surface area of cone = πrl Base area of cone = πr2 We are given, Height of the cone h = 35 cm So, 4 × πr2 = πrl l = 4r We also know, l2 = r2 + h2 (4r)2 = r2 + 352 16r2 – r2 = 1225 15r2 = 1225 r2 = \(\frac{1225}{15}\) Volume of the cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{1225}{15}\) × 35 = 2994 cm3 or 2.994 |
