7Problem 7
Answer
(a) 3 cm (b) ≈ 280π cm³ — see working
Full working
(a) Similar triangles: at height 8, distance to apex = 4 above the cut. Radius shrinks linearly from 9 (at base) to 0 (at apex). At height 8: radius = .
(b) Big cone vol = . Small (top sliced off) cone vol = . Frustum = .
Hmm — let me recheck: the slice is at height 8 cm above the base. The small cone above the slice has height cm and radius 3. Vol . Frustum = cm³.
