A cone has slanted height of 5cm and height of 4cm, its volume (in cm^3) is __________
A. 38.71
B. 36.50
C. 37.00
D. 37.71
A. 38.71
B. 36.50
C. 37.00
D. 37.71
Correct answer is D. 37.71
From the figure shown below,
According to Pythagoras theorem, r^2 + h^2 = l^2
r = \(\sqrt{l^2-h^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{5^2-4^2}\)
= 3cm
We know that volume of a cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) πr^2h
= \(\frac{1}{3} * \frac{22}{7}\) * 3 * 3 * 4
= 37.71.
