توضيح
If diameter of the circle = 12cm; radius of the circle(L) = \(\frac{12}{2}\)
= 6cm
\(\frac{\theta}{360}\) = \(\frac{r}{L}\) where \(\theta\) = 210\(\theta\), L = 6cm
\(\frac{210}{360}\) = \(\frac{r}{6}\)
where r = radius of the base of the cone
V = \(\frac{1260}{360}\)
= 3.50cm
= 6cm
\(\frac{\theta}{360}\) = \(\frac{r}{L}\) where \(\theta\) = 210\(\theta\), L = 6cm
\(\frac{210}{360}\) = \(\frac{r}{6}\)
where r = radius of the base of the cone
V = \(\frac{1260}{360}\)
= 3.50cm
