The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the height \( H \) of the cone formed by melting a metallic hemisphere with the same base radius \( R \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Volume of the Hemisphere**: The formula for the volume \( V \) of a hemisphere with radius \( R \) is given by: \[ V_{hemisphere} = \frac{2}{3} \pi R^3 \] 2. **Volume of the Cone**: The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cone with base radius \( R \) and height \( H \) is given by: \[ V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3} \pi R^2 H \] 3. **Setting the Volumes Equal**: Since the hemisphere is melted and reshaped into a cone, their volumes are equal: \[ \frac{2}{3} \pi R^3 = \frac{1}{3} \pi R^2 H \] 4. **Canceling Common Terms**: We can cancel \( \frac{1}{3} \pi \) from both sides of the equation: \[ 2 R^3 = R^2 H \] 5. **Solving for Height \( H \)**: To isolate \( H \), divide both sides by \( R^2 \) (assuming \( R \neq 0 \)): \[ H = \frac{2 R^3}{R^2} = 2 R \] Thus, the height \( H \) of the cone is \( 2R \). ### Final Answer: The height \( H \) of the cone is \( 2R \). ---
