Machines in a factory make cardboard cones of base radius r cm and vertical height h cm. The volume, V cm3, of such a cone is given by \(V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\). The machines produce cones for which \(h + r = 18\).

(i) Show that \(V = 6\pi r^2 - \frac{1}{3} \pi r^3\).

(ii) Given that r can vary, find the non-zero value of r for which V has a stationary value and show that the stationary value is a maximum.

(iii) Find the maximum volume of a cone that can be made by these machines.
