A cylindrical bucket, 32 cm high and 18 cm of radius of the base, is filled with sand. This bucket is emptied on the ground and a conical heap of sand is formed. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and slant height of the heap. |

Answer» Given, Height of the cylindrical bucket = 32 cm Radius of the cylindrical bucket = 18 cm Height of conical heap = 24 cm We know that, Volume of cylinder = π × r2 × h And, volume of cone = 1/3 π × r2 × h Then, from the question Volume of the conical heap = Volume of the cylindrical bucket 1/3 π × r2 × 24 = π × 182 × 32 r2 = 182 x 4 r = 18 x 2 = 36 cm Now, Slant height of the conical heap (l) is given by l = √(h2 + r2) l = √(242 + 362) = √1872 l = 43.26 cm Therefore, the radius and slant height of the conical heap are 36 cm and 43.26 cm respectively. |
