Two similar cones have volume of 343pi cubic centimeters and 512pi cubic centimeters. The height of each cone is equal to 3 times its radius. Find the radius and height of both cones

Respuesta :

Answer:

For the first cone: r = 7 cm, h = 21 cm

For the second cone: r = 8 cm, h = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the first cone is [tex]343\pi cm^3[/tex]

The volume of the second cone is [tex]512\pi cm^3[/tex]

We are told that the height of each cone is 3 times its radius, hence:

h = 3r

The volume of a cone is given as:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h[/tex]

Substituting h = 3r:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2(3r)\\\\\\V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (3r^3)\\\\\\V = \pi r^3[/tex]

For the first cone, V = [tex]343\pi cm^3[/tex], radius, r, will be:

[tex]343\pi = \pi r^3\\\\\\=> r^3 = 343\\\\\\r = \sqrt[3]{343} \\\\\\r = 7 cm[/tex]

∴ Its height will be:

h = 3r = 3 * 7 = 21 cm

For the second cone, V = [tex]512\pi cm^3[/tex], radius, r, will be:

[tex]512\pi = \pi r^3\\\\\\=> r^3 = 512\\\\\\r = \sqrt[3]{512} \\\\\\r = 8 cm[/tex]

∴ Its height will be:

h = 3r = 3 * 8 = 24 cm

The radius and height of the first cone are 7 cm and 21 cm respectively while the radius and height of the second cone are 8 cm and 24 cm respectively.
