Question 197499: Cone A is similar to cone B with a scale factor of 1/9. If cone A, the smaller of the two, has a volume of 10 cm3, what is the volume of cone B?

Start with the formula for the volume of a cone.
You are told that Cone B has dimensions that are scaled to 9 times the dimensions of cone A.
So, the radius on cone B is 9r and the height on cone B is 9h.
Thus the volume for cone B is
You are told Cone A has a volume of 10cm3.
You can also see that Cone B's volume is just times that of Cone A.
So the volume of Cone B = 10*9^3 cm3
