The diameter and depth of the cone are in the ratio 22:33 = 2:3.

When the cone is filled to any depth, the liquid is in the shape of a cone similar to the whole cone -- that is, the diameter and depth are always in the ratio 2:3.

So when the depth of the liquid is 15cm, the diameter of the surface of the liquid is 10cm.

The volume of the cone in cm^3 is

When the depth of the liquid is 15cm, the volume of liquid is

The amount of liquid needed to fill the container is

Perform the calculation and convert the answer in cm^3 to liters. (1 liter = 1000 cm^3)

.
Volume of Frustum of a cone =
here R =11, r=5, h=18
plug values
(6*pi)*(11^2+5^2+55) =3789 cm^3
1 liter = 1000 cm^3
3,789 liters is required
