15 The diagram shows a cylinder inside a cone on a horizontal base.
The cone and the cylinder have the same vertical axis.
The base of the cylinder lies on the base of the cone.
The circumference of the top face of the cylinder touches the curved surface of the cone.

Diagram NOT accurately drawn
The height of the cone is 12 cm and the radius of the base of the cone is 4 cm.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. (3)
The cylinder has radius \(r\) cm and volume \(V\) cm3
Find the value of \(r\) for which \(V\) is a maximum. (4)
