Q.The radius of the base of a right circular cone is equal to the radius of a sphere. The volume of the cone (in cubic centimeters) is equal to the curved surface area of the sphere (in square centimeters). What is the height of the cone? (a) 4 cm (b) 3 cm (c) 8 cm (d) 12 cm
Answer: D
Let the height of the cone be \(h\) cm. ∴ According to the question, \(\cfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h = 4\pi r^2\) Or, \(\cfrac{h}{3} = 4\) Or, \(h = 12\) ∴ The height of the cone is 12 cm.
