Question

4. 8.G.3.9 This cone and sphere have equal volumes. What is the radius of the sphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

the radius of the sphere is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

IN A CONE

vertical height (h) = 27 cm

radius (r) = 32 / 2 = 16 cm

Now the volume of cone is

= 1/3 *h*π*r²

= 1/3 * 27 *π *16²

= 2304π cm³

Also by the question the cone and the sphere have equal volumes so

volume of sphere = volume of cone

                             = 2304 π cm³

OR, 4/3 πr³ = 2304 π

4/3 * r³ = 2304

r³ = 2304 * 3 / 4

r³ = 1728

r = ∛1728

r = 12 cm

hope it helps :)
