Answer

Diameter of hemispherical bowl = 7.2 cm

Radius of hemispherical bowl (r) = 3.6 cm

Volume of hemispherical bowl = 23πr3\dfrac{2}{3}πr^3.

Radius of cone (R) = 4.8 cm.

Let height of cone = h cm.

Volume of cone = 13πR2h\dfrac{1}{3}πR^2h.

Volume of cone = Volume of hemispherical bowl.

13π×(4.8)2×h=23×π×(3.6)3h=2π×46.656×33×π×23.04h=93.31223.04h=4.05 cm.\therefore \dfrac{1}{3}π \times (4.8)^2 \times h = \dfrac{2}{3} \times π \times (3.6)^3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \dfrac{2π \times 46.656 \times 3}{3 \times π \times 23.04} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \dfrac{93.312}{23.04} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = 4.05 \text{ cm}.

Hence, the height of the cone is 4.05 cm.
