Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Volume of a cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h\)
h2 = 52 = 32
= 25 - 9 = 16
h = \(\sqrt{16}\)
h = 4cm
v = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3^2 \times 4\)
\(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 9 \times 4\)
= \(\frac{22 \times 3 \times 4}{7}\)
= 37.7cm3
= 38cm3
