Question 1159460: The volume of a right circular cone is 5 litres. Calculate the volumes of the two parts into which the cone is divided by a plane parallel to the base, one-third of the way down from the vertex to the base. Give your answers to the nearest ml. Answer by ikleyn(52777) (Show Source):
The smaller cone is similar shape to the larger cone, and the similarity coefficient is 1:3.
It means that the volume of the smaller cone is = of the volume of the larger cone.
ANSWER. The volume of the smaller cone is of a liter, or 0.185 of a liter = 185 mL.
