Question 1184202: The volume of a cone varies jointly as its height, and the square of its radius.
If a cone with a height of 8 centimeters and a radius of 2 centimeters has a
volume of 33.5 cm3, what is the volume of a cone with a height of 6 centimeters and a radius of 4 centimeters?

A classical mathematical solution....
(1) Plug in the given values V=33.5, h=8, r=2 and solve for k.
(2) Use that value of k with the new values of h and r to find the new V.
That's simple enough; I leave it to you.
A common sense solution....
The height is changed by a factor of 6/8 = 3/4; that changes the volume by a factor of 3/4.
The radius is changed by a factor of 4/2 = 2; that changes the volume by a factor of 2^2 = 4.
The volume of the second cone is
ANSWER: 100.5 cubic cm
