    Question

    A hemisphere of radius 10 cm is melted and recast into

    the shape of a cone with a base diameter of 10 cm. Find the height of the cone.
    A 74 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 80 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 32 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 36 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of the hemisphere = (2/3)πr³ Volume of the cone = (1/3)πr²h Since the volume remains constant, (2/3)π(10)³ = (1/3)π(5)²h Simplifying: (2/3)π(1000) = (1/3)π(25)h (2000) = (25)h h = 2000 / 25 = 80 cm Correct Option: b
