A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. Show that their volumes are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3.

Answer»

Volume of a hemisphere = \(\frac{2}{3}\)πr3 

Volume of a right circular cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2

Given,

a cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height.

Height of a hemisphere is the radius and equal bases implies equal base radius.

Thus, 

height of cone = height of cylinder = base radius = r

Ratio of volumes = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2h :  \(\frac{2}{3}\)πr3 : πr2h

⇒ Ratio of volumes = r3 : 2r3 : 3r3 = 1 : 2 : 3
