If a cylinder of radius 7cm and height 9cm is melted and constructed into a cone of the same radius, what will be the height of this cone?

  1. A
    54cm
  2. B
    9cm
  3. C
    27cm
  4. D
    13.5cm

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

When an object is melted and recast into another shape, its total volume remains unchanged.
Volume of Cylinder=Volume of Cone
Let the radius of the cylinder be r=7cm and height be h
cyl

=9cm.
Let the radius of the cone be r=7cm and height be h
cone

.

πr

h
cyl

=

Since the radii are identical, πr
2
cancels out from both sides:

h

=

=9×3=27cm
