a web search for maximum volume cone in sphere will give you some nice articles explaining the solution.
For a cone, the formula describes the relationship between the radius r of the base, the volume V, and the height h. Find the volume if the radius is 7 inches and the cone is 11 inches high. (Use 3.14 as an approximation for , and round to the nearest tenth.)
