Show that the right-circular cone of lea...

Show that the right-circular cone of least curved surface and given volume has an altitude equal to `sqrt(2)` times the radius of the base.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `r,l "and" h` be the radius, slant height and altitude of the cone respectively, then
`v=1/3(pir^2h)`........(1)
`h=(3v)/(pir^2)`.......(2)
`s=pirl`, squaring both sides
