A metallic sphere of radius 10.5cm is melted and then recast into smal

1.	A metallic sphere of radius 10.5cm is melted and then recast into smaller cones, each of radius 3.5cm and height 3cm. How many cones are obtained?
Answer» It is given that Radius of the sphere = 10.5cm Radius of smaller cone = 3.5cm Height = 3cm We know that Number of cones = Volume of the sphere/ Volume of one small cone So we get Number of cones = (4/3 × (22/7) × 10.5³)/ (1/3 × (22/7) × 3.5² × 3) On further calculation Number of cones = 4851/ 38.5 = 126 Therefore, 126 cones are obtained from the metallic sphere.

Answer»

It is given that

Radius of the sphere = 10.5cm

Radius of smaller cone = 3.5cm

Height = 3cm

We know that

Number of cones = Volume of the sphere/ Volume of one small cone

So we get

Number of cones = (4/3 × (22/7) × 10.5³)/ (1/3 × (22/7) × 3.5² × 3)

On further calculation

Number of cones = 4851/ 38.5 = 126

Therefore, 126 cones are obtained from the metallic sphere.
