A right triangle ABC with sides 5 cm, 12 cm and 13 cm is revolved about the side 12 cm. Find the volume of the solid so obtained.
The solid obtained will be a right circular cone whose radius of the base is 5 cm and height is 12 cm.
∴ r = 5 cm h = 12 cm
Volume =
=
Hence, the volume of the solid so obtained is 100 ∴ cm3.
