Prove that the vo
Answer :
Let r and h be the radius and height of the cone respectively inscribed in a sphere of radius R.
Let V be the volume of cone.
Then, V=
And height of cone h = R +
Now,
Now, if,
After solving this we get,
So, when, , then
< 0
Then, by second derivative test, the volume of the cone is the maximum when
So, when, , h = R +
Therefore, V =
Therefore, the volume of the largest cone that can be inscribed in the sphere is the volume of the sphere.
