Solution: Let the height of the cone be cm . Then ,
Volume of the cone
when the water in the cone is poured in a cylinder of radius 10 cm , the height of the water rises to 2 cm .
Volume of the water = Volume of a cylinder of radius 10 cm and height 2 cm .
Volume of the water
But , Volume of the cone = Volume of the water
Hence , the height of the cone is 24 cm .
