Problem 334: (2014 AMC 10b, 23; 2014 AMC12b, 19)
A sphere is inscribed in a truncated right circular cone as shown. The volume of the truncated cone is twice that of the sphere. What is the ratio of the radius of the bottom base of the truncated cone to the radius of the top base of the truncated cone? $\text{(A) } \dfrac32 $\quad$ \text{(B) } \dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2 $\quad$ \text{(C) } \sqrt3 $\quad$ \text{(D) } 2 $\quad$ \text{(E) } \dfrac{3+\sqrt5}2$
Solution
Exercise 334: Solution
A sphere is inscribed in a truncated right circular cone (tangent to both bases and the lateral surface). If the volume of the truncated cone is $3$ times that of the sphere, what is the ratio of the larger base radius to the smaller base radius?
