To find the volume of the cone, we use the formula Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h, where r = 6 and h = 12.
Vcone = (1/3)π(6)^2(12)
Vcone = 144π
To find the volume of the sphere, we use the formula Vsphere = (4/3)πr^3, where r = 6.
Vsphere = (4/3)π(6)^3
Vsphere = 288π
Therefore, the difference in volume between the cone and sphere is:
Vsphere - Vcone = 288π - 144π = 144π
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. The volume of the cone is 144π cm larger than the volume of the sphere.
