Math Problem Statement
The surface area of sphere of radius 5cm, is five times the are of the curved surface area of a cone of radius 4cm. Find the height and volume of the cone.
Solution
To solve this, we’ll start by calculating the surface area of the sphere and then use the relationship to determine the cone’s height and volume.
1. Surface Area of the Sphere:
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is:
For a sphere of radius :
It is given that this is five times the curved surface area of the cone.
2. Curved Surface Area of the Cone:
The formula for the curved surface area of a cone is:
where:
- is the radius of the cone base (),
- is the slant height of the cone.
Let the curved surface area of the cone be . From the problem:
Thus, the curved surface area of the cone is .
Substitute into the formula:
So, the slant height of the cone is .
3. Height of the Cone:
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find the height of the cone ():
So, the height of the cone is .
4. Volume of the Cone:
The formula for the volume of a cone is:
[ V = \frac{1}{3
