the volumes of two cones are in the ratio 1 : 10 and the radii of the cones are in the ratio of 1 : 2 . what is the length of the wire ?
the volume of the cone = ( 1 / 3 ) π r 2 h only radius ( r ) and height ( h ) are varying . hence , ( 1 / 3 ) π may be ignored . v 1 / v 2 = r 12 h 1 / r 22 h 2 = > 1 / 10 = ( 1 ) 2 h 1 / ( 2 ) 2 h 2 = > h 1 / h 2 = 2 / 5 i . e . h 1 : h 2 = 2 : 5 answer : a
divide(divide(1, 10), power(divide(1, 2), const_2))
