Exercise - 11.3

1. Find the volume of the right circular cone with

i. Radius $\text{6 cm}$, height $\text{7 cm}$

Ans:

It is given the radius of cone $\text{r = 6 cm}$

The height of the cone $\text{h = 7 cm}$

The volume of the cone $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{6} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  7} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left( \text{12  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  22} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = 264 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

The volume of the right circular cone is $\text{264 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$.


ii. Radius $\text{3}\text{.5 cm}$, height $\text{12 cm}$ $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  =}\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

It is given the radius of cone $\text{r = 3}\text{.5 cm}$

The height of the cone $\text{h = 12 cm}$

The volume of the cone $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{3}\text{.5} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  12} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left( \text{1}\text{.75  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  88} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = 154 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

The volume of the right circular cone is $\text{154 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$.


2. Find the capacity in litres of a conical vessel with

i. Radius $\text{7 cm}$, slant height $\text{25 cm}$

Ans:

It is given the radius of cone $\text{r = 7 cm}$

The slant height of the cone $\text{l = 25 cm}$

So, the height of the cone $\text{h = }\sqrt{{{\text{l}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ - }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{h = }\sqrt{\text{2}{{\text{5}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ - }{{\text{7}}^{\text{2}}}}\text{ cm}$

$\Rightarrow \text{h = 24 cm}$

The volume of the cone $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{7} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  24} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left( \text{154  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  8} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = 1232 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

We know that $\text{1000 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\text{ = 1 litre}$

So, the capacity of the conical vessel $\text{= }\frac{\text{1232}}{\text{1000}}\text{ = 1}\text{.232 litres}$

Therefore, the capacity of the conical vessel is $\text{1}\text{.232 litres}$.


ii. Height $\text{12 cm}$, slant height $\text{13 cm}$ $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  =}\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

It is given the height of cone $\text{h = 12 cm}$

The slant height of the cone $\text{l = 13 cm}$

So, the radius of the cone $\text{r = }\sqrt{{{\text{l}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ - }{{\text{h}}^{\text{2}}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r = }\sqrt{\text{1}{{\text{3}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ - 1}{{\text{2}}^{\text{2}}}}\text{ cm}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r = 5 cm}$

The volume of the cone $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{5} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  12} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left( \text{4  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  25} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\frac{2200}{7}\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

We know that $\text{1000 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\text{ = 1 litre}$

So, the capacity of the conical vessel $\text{= }\frac{\text{2200}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{1000}}\text{ = 0}\text{.314 litres}$

Therefore, the capacity of the conical vessel is $\text{0}\text{.314 litres}$.


3. The height of a cone is $\text{15 cm}$. It its volume is $\text{1570 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$, find the diameter of its base. $\left[ \text{Use  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  = 3}\text{.14} \right]$

Ans:

It is given the height of cone $\text{h = 12 cm}$

Let us assume the radius of the cone be $\text{r}$.

The volume of the cone is $\text{V = 1570 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

We know the formula for the volume of the cone $\text{= }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\therefore \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h = 1570 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{r} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  12} \right]\text{ cm = 1570 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow {{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ = 100 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

\[\Rightarrow \text{r = 10 cm}\]

Diameter of base \[\text{= 2r = 20 cm}\]

Therefore, the diameter of the cone is  \[\text{20 cm}\].


4. If the volume of right circular cone of height $\text{9 cm}$ is $\text{48 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$, find the diameter of its base.

Ans:

It is given the height of cone $\text{h = 9 cm}$

Let us assume the radius of the cone is $\text{r}$.

The volume of the cone is $\text{V = 48 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

We know the formula for the volume of the cone $\text{= }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\therefore \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h = 48 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{   }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{   }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{r} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  9} \right]\text{ cm = 48 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow {{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ = 16 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

\[\Rightarrow \text{r = 4 cm}\]

Diameter of base \[\text{= 2r = 8 cm}\]

Therefore, the diameter of the base of the cone is \[\text{8 cm}\].


5. A conical pit of top diameter $\text{3}\text{.5 m}$ is $\text{12 m}$ deep. What is the capacity in kilolitres? $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  =}\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

It is given the height of conical pit $\text{h = 12 m}$

The radius of conical pit $\text{r = }\frac{\text{3}\text{.5}}{\text{2}}\text{ m = 1}\text{.75 m}$

We know the volume of the conical pit $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{1}\text{.75} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  12} \right]\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = 38}\text{.5 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

We know that $\text{1 kilolitre = 1 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

So, the capacity of the pit $\text{= }\left( \text{38}\text{.5  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  1} \right)\text{ kilolitres = 38}\text{.5 kilolitres}$

Therefore, the capacity of the conical pit is $\text{38}\text{.5 kilolitres}$.


6. The volume of a right circular cone is $\text{9856 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$. If the diameter of the base is $\text{28 cm}$, find

i. Height of the cone

Ans:

It is given the diameter of base of cone $\text{= 28 cm}$

So, the radius $\text{r = }\frac{\text{28}}{\text{2}}\text{ = 14 cm}$

Let us assume the height of the cone is $\text{h}$.

The volume of the cone is $\text{V = 9856 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

We know the formula for the volume of the cone $\text{= }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\therefore \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h = 9856 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{22}{7}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{14} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  h} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ = 9856 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

\[\Rightarrow \text{h = }\left( \frac{\text{9856  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  21}}{\text{22  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  196}} \right)\text{ cm}\]

\[\Rightarrow \text{h = 48 cm}\]

Therefore, the height of the cone is \[\text{48 cm}\].


ii. Slant height of the cone

Ans:

The slant height of the cone $\text{l = }\sqrt{{{\text{h}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ + }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{l = }\sqrt{\text{4}{{\text{8}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ + 1}{{\text{4}}^{\text{2}}}}\text{ cm}$

$\Rightarrow \text{l = }\sqrt{\text{2304 + 196}}\text{ cm}$

$\Rightarrow \text{l = 50 cm}$

Therefore, the slant height of the cone is $\text{50 cm}$.


iii. Curved surface area of the cone. $\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  =}\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

The curved surface area of the cone $\text{A =  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ rl}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left( \frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  14  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  50} \right)\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 2200 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Therefore, the curved surface area of the cone is $\text{2200 c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.


7. A right triangle $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ ABC}$ with sides $\text{5 cm}$,$\text{12 cm}$ and \[\text{13 cm}\] is revolved about the side $\text{12 cm}$. Find the volume of the solid so obtained.

Ans:


(Image will be uploaded soon)


If the triangle is revolved about the side $\text{12 cm}$, we will get a cone with:

Radius $\text{r = 5 cm}$

Slant height $\text{l = 13 cm}$

Height $\text{h = 12 cm}$

We know the volume of the cone $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{   }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{   }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{5} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  12} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = 100 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

Therefore, the volume of the cone will be $\text{100 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$.


8. If the triangle $\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ ABC}$ in the Question $\text{7}$ above is revolved about the side $\text{5 cm}$, then find the volume of the solid so obtained. Find also the ratio of the volumes of the two solids obtained in Questions $\text{7}$ and $\text{8}$.

Ans:


(Image will be uploaded soon)


If the triangle is revolved about the side $\text{5 cm}$, we will get a cone with:

Radius $\text{r = 12 cm}$

Slant height $\text{l = 13 cm}$

Height $\text{h = 5 cm}$

We know the volume of the cone $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{   }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{   }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{12} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  5} \right]\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = 240 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

Therefore, the volume of the cone will be $\text{240 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$.

The ratio of volume of cone from previous question an the one we obtained above $\text{= }\frac{\text{100 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{240 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}\text{ = }\frac{\text{5}}{\text{12}}\text{ = 5 : 12}$

Therefore, the required ratio is $\text{5 : 12}$.


9. A heap of wheat is in the form of a cone whose diameter is $\text{10}\text{.5 m}$and height is $\text{3 m}$. Find its volume. The heap is to be covered by canvas to protect it from rain. Find the area of the canvas required.

$\left[ \text{Assume  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{  =}\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}} \right]$

Ans:

It is given that diameter of the heap $\text{= 10}\text{.5 m}$

So, the radius of heap $\text{r = }\frac{\text{10}\text{.5}}{\text{2}}\text{ = 5}\text{.25 m}$

Height of heap $\text{h = 3 m}$

We know the volume of the cone $\text{V = }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = }\left[ \frac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\frac{22}{7}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }{{\left( \text{5}\text{.25} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  3} \right]\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{V = 86}\text{.625 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

Hence, the volume of the heap is $\text{86}\text{.625 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$.

The area of canvas required is the same as the curved surface area of the cone.

$\therefore \text{A =  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ rl}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A =  }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ r}\sqrt{{{\text{h}}^{\text{2}}}\text{ + }{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  5}\text{.25  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\sqrt{{{\left( \text{3} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{ + }{{\left( \text{5}\text{.25} \right)}^{\text{2}}}}\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = }\left( \frac{\text{22}}{\text{7}}\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  5}\text{.25  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  6}\text{.05} \right)\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{A = 99}\text{.825 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$

Therefore, to protect the heap from the rain, the amount of canvas required is $\text{99}\text{.825 }{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}$.

3. When a cone's height and diameter are known, how can its volume be determined?

We are aware that a cone's volume is equal to  (1/3 )πr2h

Where r and h are the radius and height of the given cone.

Let us assume d to be the diameter of the given cone.

Since r = \dfrac{d}{2}

The volume of a cone is $V=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2 h$ cubic units

Therefore, if a cone's height and diameter are known, its volume may be calculated using the formula $\dfrac{1}{3} \pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2 h$  cubic units.

4. How to calculate the area of the base of a cone?

The cone's flat face, which is a circle, forms its base. Therefore, the area of this circle alone constitutes the base area of a cone, which is given by A = πr2 where r is the base radius. The formula  A = π(D/2)2 = (πD2)/4  where D is the base's diameter, can also be used to express the cone's base area in terms of its diameter.
