Question:

The height and slant height of a conical vessel are 12 cm and 13 cm, respectively. The capacity of the vessel is: (Use $π = 3.14$)

Options:

0.314 litres

0.424 litres

0.5 litres

0.298 litres

Correct Answer:

0.314 litres

Explanation:

We know that,

L2 = r2 + P2

volume = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2h

We have,

height = 12cm

slant height =13cm = L

=132 = r2 + 122

By solving further,

radius =5cm

Volume of cone =\(\frac{1}{3}\) × 3.14 × 52 × 12 = 314 = 0.314litres
