The volume of a cone is the same as that of the cylinder whose height is 9 cm and diameter 40 cm. Find the radius of the base of the cone if its height is 108 cm.

Given height of the cylinder, h = 9 cm
Diameter of the cylinder = 40 cm
Radius of the cylinder, r = 40/2= 20 cm
Volume of the cylinder = r2h
= ×202×9
= ×400×9
= 3600 cm3
Height of the cone, H = 108 cm
Volume of cone = (1/3)r2h
= (1/3)r2×108
= 36r2
Since volume of cone is equal to the volume of the cylinder, we get
36r2 = 3600
r2 = 3600/36
r2 = 100
Taking square root on both sides,
r = 10 cm
Hence the radius of the cone is 10 cm.
