Radius of hemisphere = 9 cm
Volume of hemisphere = [2/3] πr³
=[2/3] π 9³
Height of cone = 72 cm …….given
the radius of the cone be r
Volume of the cone = [1/3] πr²h
= [1/3] π * r² * 72
now,
volumes of the hemisphere = volume of the cone
[2/3] π 9³ = [1/3] π * r² * 72
r² = [2 * 9³] / 72
r² = 81/4
r = √[81/4]
r = 9/2
r = 4. 5 cm
∴ The radius of the base of the cone is 4.5 cm
