Question :

A cone of height 24cm and radius of base 6cm is made up modelling clay. A child moulds it in the form of sphere. Find the radius of the sphere.Submitted on 6/2/2024 | Answered by Vandana Rana

Answer :

Given that, the child reshapes cone with a sphere.

So, the volume of sphere = Volume of cone.

Height of cone h = 24 cm
and radius of cone = r = 6 cm
⇒4/3 π r³ = 1/3 π r²h
⇒ 4 r³ = 6×6×24
⇒ r³ = 6××6×6
⇒r = 6
Hence, radius of the sphere = 6 cm
