Question

Thevolume of a right circular cone is 5 litres.calculate the volumes of the two parts into which the cone is divided by a plane parallel to the base,one-third of the way down from the vertex to the base.

Answer 1

since volume scales as the cube of the linear ratio, the small cone has 1/27 the volume of the whole cone.

So, the parts' volumes are 5(1/27) and 5(26/27)

Answer 6

Use linear ratio
5000ml-5000ml(1/27)
5000ml-185ml
=4815ml
