Question

The radius and height of a right circular cone are in the ratio 3 : 4 . If its volume is 96`pi cm^3`. what is its slant height ?


Options:
A .  8 cm
B .  9 cm
C .  10 cm
D .  12 cm
Answer: Option C

Let the radius and the height of the cone be `3x and 4x` respectively . Then 

`1/3 xx pi xx (3x)^2 xx 4x = 96 pi`

`36x^3 = (96 xx 3)`

`hArr  x^3 = ((96 xx 3)/(36))` = 8

`hArr   x = 2`

`:.`     Radius  = 6 cm  height = 8 cm .

slant height =` sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) cm  = sqrt(100) cm`

= 10 cm.
