An automobile engineer is revising a design for a conical chamber that was originally specified to be 12 inches long with a circular base diameter of 5.7 inches. In the new design, the chamber is scaled by a factor of 1.5. What is the volume of the revised chamber? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Question

do you have the formula for a circular cone?

anonymous · Answer

You can figure out the new cone or get the volume of the original cone and use the fact that if two objects are proportional in their dimensions, then the volume is proportional to the cube of the ratio of any of their lengths. E.G., doubling a sphere diameter increases the volume by 2 cubed = 8.
