Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. Since both cones, as shown in the figure attached below, are similar, 11/8 = l/4
Cross multiply to find l
4*11 = 8*l
44 = 8l
l = 44/8
l = 5.5cm
b. Given the slant height and diameter of cone, volume of cone can be calculated using the formula ⅓πr²*√(l² - r²)
Where, r = diameter ÷ 2 = 4/2 = 2cm
l = 5.5cm
Volume of smaller cone = ⅓*3.142*2²*√(5.5² - 2²)
= ⅓*3.142*4*√30.25 - 4)
= ⅓*12.568*√26.25
= ⅓*12.568*5.124
= 64.40/3
Volume of small cone ≈ 21.5 cm³
