The volume of a right circular cone, with a base radius the same as its altitude, and the volume of a hemisphere are equal. The ratio of the radii of the cone to the hemisphere is:
Volume of cone =Â $$\frac{1}{3}\pi\ r^2h=\frac{1}{3}\pi\ r^3$$ (radius and height are equal)
Volume of hemisphere =Â $$\frac{2}{3}\pi\ R^3$$
Volumes of both are equal,
$$\frac{1}{3}\pi\ r^3=\frac{2}{3}\pi\ R^3$$
$$\frac{r^3}{R^3}=\frac{2}{1}$$
Required ratio =Â $$\sqrt[\ 3]{2}:\ 1$$
