A right triangle with sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm is rotated the side of 3 cm to form a cone. The volume of the cone so formed is:
12
cm3
cm315 cm3
cm316 cm3
cm320 cm3
cm3Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, we have r = 3 cm and h = 4 cm.
 Volume = |
1 | r2h = |
 |
1 | x x 32 x 4 |
 cm3 |
= 12 cm3. |
| 3 | 3 |

We take orderly the sides of triangle in required it is simply to calculate using formula 1/3*3.14*r^2*h.

We know long side is hypotenuse according to question which will be 5cm then height is 4cm & base is 3cm then we extent the 3cm behind 4cm height as a diameter & draw the circle along this & calculate the volume from formula.

I can't understand.

If the side of 3cm is rotated, won't it become the height of the cone ?

There is no need that the rotated side must be the base. You can rotate around the opposite side of triangle then also you will get the same cone.

But how can we understand that 3 will base ?

We know that long side in right angle triangle is hypotenuses OK let 3 is base and 4 is a height then put the formula of volume of cone is 1/3 *pai r*r*h that's all.

Since triangle is rotated with a side of 3 hence radius=3, volume=1/3*22/7r^2h.

Guys, they said triangle is rotated the 3 cm side to form a cone. So the only way the cone can b formed from a right angle triangle is by rotating base and its 3 cm in this case!

Why the 3 cm is taken as the radius?
