Write whether True or False and justify your answer.The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r equals to the volume of a hemisphere of radius r.

Answer»

According to the question,

Edge of cube, l = 2r

Then, diameter of the cone = 2r

⇒ radius of the cone = 2r/2

= r

Height of the cone, h = height of the cube

= 2r

Volume of the cone is given by,

Volume of cone = 1/3 πr2h

= 1/3 πr2(2r)

= 2/3 πr3

= Volume of hemisphere of radius r

Hence, the given statement “the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r equals to the volume of a hemisphere of radius r” is true.
