The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the radii of a right circular cone and a hemisphere, given that the volume of the cone is equal to the volume of the hemisphere, and the radius of the cone is one-third of its altitude. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables:** - Let the radius of the cone be \( r_1 \). - Let the height (altitude) of the cone be \( h \). - Let the radius of the hemisphere be \( r_2 \). 2. **Relationship Between Radius and Height of the Cone:** - According to the problem, the radius of the base of the cone is one-third of its altitude: \[ r_1 = \frac{h}{3} \] - From this, we can express the height in terms of the radius: \[ h = 3r_1 \] 3. **Volume of the Cone:** - The formula for the volume \( V \) of a right circular cone is given by: \[ V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r_1^2 h \] - Substituting \( h = 3r_1 \) into the volume formula: \[ V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r_1^2 (3r_1) = \pi r_1^3 \] 4. **Volume of the Hemisphere:** - The formula for the volume \( V \) of a hemisphere is given by: \[ V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r_2^3 \] 5. **Setting the Volumes Equal:** - Since the volumes of the cone and the hemisphere are equal: \[ \pi r_1^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi r_2^3 \] - We can cancel \( \pi \) from both sides: \[ r_1^3 = \frac{2}{3} r_2^3 \] 6. **Finding the Ratio of Radii:** - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3} = \frac{2}{3} \] - Taking the cube root of both sides: \[ \frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2}{3}} \] 7. **Final Ratio:** - Thus, the ratio of the radii of the cone to the hemisphere is: \[ r_1 : r_2 = \sqrt[3]{2} : \sqrt[3]{3} \]
