The diagram shows a frustum of a cone, and a sphere.
The frustum, shown shaded in the diagram, is made by removing the small cone from the large cone. The small cone and the large cone are similar.
Loading diagram…From page 26 of the paper. The height of the small cone is h cm and the radius of the base of the small cone is r cm. The height of the large cone is kh cm and the radius of the base of the large cone is kr cm. The radius of the sphere is r cm.
The sphere is divided into two hemispheres, each of radius r cm.
Solid A is formed by joining one of the hemispheres to the frustum. The plane face of the hemisphere coincides with the upper plane face of the frustum, as shown in the diagram below.
Solid B is formed by joining the other hemisphere to the small cone that was removed from the large cone. The plane face of the hemisphere coincides with the plane face of the base of the small cone, as shown in the diagram below.
