Question 13

Ram places three identical cones of radius on a table in such a way that each cone base touches the other two, also the altitude of the cone is perpendicular to the table. The radius
of the circle drawn through the cone vertices would be?

Solution

The top view of the three cones can be seen in the figure below.

The three centres will form an equilateral triangle. R= 2/3*$$\sqrt{3 }$$r

R= 2/$$\sqrt{3 }$$*r

R is larger than r.
