Given:

A solid metallic sphere of radius 13 cm is melted and recast into a cone having diameter of the base as 13 cm.

Concept used:

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr2h

Volume of a sphere = 4/3πr3

Calculation:

According to the question,

4/3πr3 = 1/3πr2h

Let height of the cone be h

So,

4 × 133 = (13/2)2 × h

⇒ h = 4 × 13× (2/13)2

⇒ h = 16 × 13

⇒ h = 208

So, height = 208 cm

∴ The required answer is 208 cm.
