Question

Find the dimensions of the largest right cicular cone that can be inscribed in a sphere of the radius 12 inches.

Answer 1

try it master

Answer 2

??

Answer 3

this also include calculus right?

Answer 4

right

Answer 5

ok first of all when will be the right circular cone will be largest when radius = 12 inches

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

very confusing .. @Callisto

Answer 8

yeah super
haha

Answer 9

http://www.themathpage.com/acalc/applied.htm check out problem no. 5 its similar but in it we want to find volume

Answer 10

yes i also searched for it .but found only volume :(

Answer 11

@mathslover i think in this case we'll take lateral area and total area
LA= pi*r*l
TA= LA + BA
where LA= lateral area
BA = base area
TA= pi*r*l + pi*r^2
=pi*r(l+r)
now we can max or min its dimensions easily

Answer 12

Hmn @annas I am seriously diverged in a complicated question ..

well it seems that you are going right but not sure

Answer 13

ok...
