  • How to calculate the volume of a cone and hemisphere.
    This is around a level A question at GCSE - although it should be relatively straightforward if you show a clear, logical approach. The cone is 10cm tall and 12cm at the base; it's attached to a hemisphere (half a ball) and you are asked to calculate the volume.
    There are some additional questions on www.mathswrap.co.uk.
    I hope the video helps and please do add a comment below - thanks.

    What do you do if the height is the length of the cone and hemisphere? How do you work the height of the cone itself?

    • @KayJayFusion
      @KayJayFusion Před 8 lety +3

      I doubt you still need help but if it gives you the radius then that is also the height of the hemisphere since the radius is a line that goes from the centre to anywhere in the sphere

    Hi so I'm just wondering how your sphere total came to such a high number and if its possible to show me how you can do this question without a calculator . As when i do my volume of a sphere i multiplied the pi by 6x6x6 what did i do wrong ? Thank you for your time :).

    • @3minutemaths
      @3minutemaths  Před 8 lety

      +Naomi Anderson - Hi - you might be asked to calculate the volume, without a calculator, by leaving the answer as a multiple of pi.
      If the radius is 6cm the volume would be:
      4/3 x pi x rcubed
      4/3 x pi x 6 x 6 x 6
      288pi cmcubed
      I hope this helps and all best S :-)

    what to do if u dont have the radius but you have the volume

    • @medmak1494
      @medmak1494 Před 6 lety +3

      Maze
      Put the volume and calculate the equation. Let's say the volume is 25cm cube.
      25= 1/3 × pi × r square.
      25÷(1/3 × pi )= r square
      Then the reduce is the root of 25÷(1/3×pi)= r
      Exercise more the rules of how to solv equation usually by cross multiplication or division then it will be more easy.

      +Anonymous Cat - You're not stupid - it's a great question. You'll always need a height and a radius although they sometimes need to be worked out. One of the favourite exam questions is to give 'slant height' of the cone ... you then need to use pythagorus (usually) to work out the actual height. All best S :-)
