Answer
View full question & answer→True.Solution:
The height of the largest cone is 2r that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r.
Its volume $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2(2\text{r})=\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$
But $\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$ is the volume of a hemisphere of radius r.
Hence, the given statement is true.

But $\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$ is the volume of a hemisphere of radius r.
Hence, the given statement is true.
Clearly, $\angle\text{AOB}=90^\circ$ Let the radius of the base = r unit, height = h units and slant height = l unit, then $\text{l}^2=\text{h}^2+\text{r}^2\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{\text{h}^2+\text{r}^2}$
