Question
The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is $2r$ equals to the volume of a hemisphere of radius $r.$

Answer

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.
