a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 22 m long is revolved about one of its legs to generate a right circular cone. find the​ radius, height, and volume of the cone of greatest volume that can be made this way.

Respuesta :

The greatest volume of the cone made be 4372.7 m³.

Given, a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 22 m long is revolved about one of its legs to generate a right circular cone.

Let the base of the right triangle be, b

and the height of the right triangle be, h

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we get

22² = b² + h²

484 = b² + h²

Now, the height of the cone be, h and the radius of the cone be, b

Volume of the cone =  1/3πb²h

as, b² = 484 - h²

Volume = 1/3π(484 - h²)h

Volume = 1/3π(484h - h³)

On differentiating, we get

V' = 1/3π(484 - 3h²)

h² = 484/3

h = 22/√3

h = 22√3/3

b = 22√2/√3

Volume = 1/3π(22√2/√3)(22√2/√3)(22√3/3)

Volume = 1/9√3π(22³)(2)

Volume = 4372.7 m³

Hence, the greatest volume of the cone made be 4372.7 m³.
