A right triangle whose hypotenuse is 3 centimeters long is revolved about one of its legs to generate a right circular cone. Find the radius, height, and volume of the right cone that will have the greatest volume when constructed this way.

The height of the right circular cone when constructed this way is cm.

The radius of the right circular cone when constructed this way is cm.

The volume of the right circular cone when constructed this way is cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A right triangle whose hypotenuse is 3 cm long is revolved .

Then other two legs of the triangle will be radius and height of the cone.

Assume the height and radius of the cone be h and r respectively.

From Pythagorean Theorem :

h²+r²=3²

⇒ r²= 9 - h²

Then the volume of the cone is

V= π r²h

⇒ V= π(9-h²)h                [ ∵ r²= 9 - h²]

⇒V= π(9h - h³)

Differentiating with respect to h

V'=π(9 - 3h²)

Again differentiating with respect to h

V''= π(-6h)

⇒V''= (-6πh)

To maximum or minimum ,we set V'=0

π(9 - 3h²)=0

⇒3h²=9

⇒h²=3

Now, .

Since at ,V''<0.

The volume of cone is maximum at cm when constructed this way.

The height of the right circular cone when constructed this way is cm.

The radius of the right circular cone when constructed this way  

   =  

    cm.

The volume of the  right circular cone when constructed this way is

=π r²h

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
