Again maths problemmmm :(((( ?

1.)A solid sphere of diameter 42 cm is melted and recast into a number of smaller identical cones each of diameter 7 cm and height 3 cm. find the number of cones so formed.

2) find the equation of straight line which is passing through the point of intersection of the straight lines 2x+3y-1=0 and 3x+2y=4 and the midpoint of the straight line joining the two points (3/8,-7/10) and (-7/8,-3/10)

Update:

I got the first one answer as 1008 cones

    Sphere V = 4/3*pi*r^3

    Cone V= 1/3*pi*r^2*h

    Sphere

    V = 4/3*pi*21^3

    Number of cones = Vsphere/ V cone= (4/3*pi*21^3)/(1/3*pi*3.5^2*7)

    = 432

    2)

    2x+3y-1=0..........(i)

    3x+2y=4 ............(ii)

    Multiply (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2

    6x + 9y - 3 = 0..............(ia)

    6x + 4y - 8 = 0.............(iia)

    Subtract (iia) from (ia)

    5y + 5 =0

    y = -1

    substituting y = -1 in (i)

    2x+3y-1=0..........(i)

    2x - 3 - 1 =0

    2x = 4

    x = 2

    Point A (2,-1)

    Midpoint of (3/8,-7/10) and (-7/8,-3/10)

    = (x1 + x2)/2,(y1 + y2)/2

    = (3/8 -7/8)/2, (-7/10 - 3/10)/2

    Point B = (-1/4, -1/2)

    y - y1 = ((y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1))*(x - x1)

    y + 1 = ((-1/2 + 1)/(-1/4 - 2))*(x - 2)

    y + 1 = -2/9*(x - 2)

    9y + 9 = -2(x - 2)

    9y + 2x + 13 = 0
