To find the altitude of the right circular cone of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius \( r \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Geometry Consider a right circular cone inscribed in a sphere of radius \( R \). The height of the cone is \( h \) and the radius of the base of the cone is \( r \). The relationship between the radius of the sphere, the height of the cone, and the radius of the cone can be expressed using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ R^2 = r^2 + \left( R - h \right)^2 \] ...
