To find the number of cones made, we need to determine the volume of the solid sphere and the volume of each cone. Then, we can divide the volume of the sphere by the volume of each cone to find the number of cones.
Given:
Radius of the sphere, r = 10.5 cm
Radius of the cone, R = 3.5 cm
Height of the cone, h = 3 cm
1. Find the volume of the sphere:
The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = (4/3)πr³.
Substituting the value of the radius, we get V = (4/3)π(10.5)³.
2. Find the volume of each cone:
The volume of a cone is given by the formula V = (1/3)πR²h.
Substituting the values of the radius and height, we get V = (1/3)π(3.5)²(3).
3. Find the number of cones:
To find the number of cones, we divide the volume of the sphere by the volume of each cone:
Number of cones = (Volume of the sphere) / (Volume of each cone).
Let's calculate the values:
1. Volume of the sphere:
V = (4/3)π(10.5)³ = (4/3)π(1157.625) = 1543.5π cm³
2. Volume of each cone:
V = (1/3)π(3.5)²(3) = (1/3)π(12.25)(3) = 12.25π cm³
3. Number of cones:
Number of cones = 1543.5π / 12.25π = 126
Therefore, the number of cones made from the material is 126 cones, which corresponds to option B.
