We have: The edge of cube = 9 cm
This will be the altitude of the cone.
So,
The radius of circular cone will be 9/2 = 4.5 cm.
As we are aware,
The volume of cone is given by formula:
V = 1 3 π R 2 H
where,
R is the radius and H the altitude of cone.
Additionally, the largest cone that we can find must have a volume that is equal to or lower than that of a cube.
V = 1 3 π R 2 H
= 1 3 π ( 4.5 ) 2 × 9
= 1 3 π 20.25 × 9
= 1 3 × 22 7 × 20.25 × 9 = 190.92 c m 3
Required volume is 190.92 c m 3
