The surface area of a sphere of radius 5 cm is 5 times the area of the curved surface of a cone of radius 4 cm. Find the height of the cone.
Surface area of sphere of radius 5 cm = 4π (5)2 cm2
Area of the curved surface of cone of radius 4 cm = π(4) l cm2 where I cm is the slant height of the cone.
According to the question,
4(5)2 = 5[
(4)l}
l = 5 cm
r2 + h2 = 25
(4)2 + h2 = 25
16 + h2 + 25
h2 = 9
h = 3
Hence, the height of the cone is 3 cm.
