Question
A metal sphere has a radius 12.7 cm.
Find the volume of the sphere expressing your answer in the form a×10k, 1⩽a<10 and k∈Z.
The sphere is to be melted down and remoulded into the shape of a cone with a height of 14.8 cm.
Find the radius of the base of the cone, correct to 2 significant figures.

V = 8.58 × 103 A1
[3 marks]
recognising volume of the cone is same as volume of their sphere (M1)
13πr2(14.8)= 8580.24 (or equivalent) A1
r = 23.529
r = 24 (cm) correct to 2 significant figures A1
