If a Right triangle of sides 3cm,4cm and 5 cm is revolved about its side of length 4cm.

We get a Right circular cone of radius 3cm and perpendicular height 4 cm.

Therefore ,

r = 3cm and h = 4cm

So,

The volume of cone = 1/3 x 22/7 x 3 x 3 x 4

By simplifying we get ,

Volume = 264/7 cm3

i.e. Volume = 37.71 cm3
