Problem 315: (2012 AMC 10b, 17; 12b 15)
Jesse cuts a circular paper disk of radius $12$ along two radii to form two sectors, the smaller having a central angle of $120$ degrees. He makes two circular cones, using each sector to form the lateral surface of a cone. What is the ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to that of the larger one? $\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{8}\qquad$ $\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{1}{4}\qquad$ $\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}\qquad$ $\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{\sqrt{5}}{6}\qquad$ $\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}$
Solution
Exercise 315: Solution
A circular paper disk of radius $5$ is cut along two radii into two sectors with central angles $144^\circ$ and $216^\circ$. Each sector is rolled up (joining its two straight edges) to form the lateral surface of a cone. What is the ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the volume of the larger cone?
