Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If the base of the solid is a circle and all plane sections perpendicular to a fixed diameter of the base are equilateral triangles
then
The solid is a cone
The volume of a cone is equal to
we have
Find out the height of the cone
Remember that
If all plane sections perpendicular to a fixed diameter of the base are equilateral triangles
then
The length side of each equilateral triangle is equal to the diameter of the base
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem find out the height of the cone
we have
----> the diameter is two times the radius
substitute and solve for h
Find the volume
assume
