A right circular cone with a radius of 3 cm has a slant height of 5 cm. A right cylinder with a radius of 4 cm has a height of 6 cm. What is the number of full cones of water needed to completely fill the cylinder with water?.

Respuesta :

About 3 full cones of water are needed to be added to the cylinder to completely fill it.

The radius of the right circular cone is 3cm and the slant height is 5 cm.

The height of the cone can be found as,

H = √(5)²- (3)²

H = 4cm

The volume of the cone is given by,

V = πR²H/3

R is the radius and H is the height of the cone,

Putting values,

v = π x 5 x 5 x 4/3

v = 104.71 cm³

Now, the height h of cylinder is given to be 6 cm and the radius r of the cylinder is 4cm.

The volume of the cylinder is given as,

V = πr²h

V = π x 4 x 4 x 6

V = 301.59

Let us assume that we have to add n full cones of water to completely fill the cylinder, so, we can write,

nv = V

Putting values,

n104.71 = 301.59

n = 2.85

So, we have to add roughly three full cones of water to completely fill the cylinder.
