\n" ); document.write( "A classical mathematical solution....

\n" ); document.write( "\"V=k%28%28h%29%28r%5E2%29%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "(1) Plug in the given values V=33.5, h=8, r=2 and solve for k.
\n" ); document.write( "(2) Use that value of k with the new values of h and r to find the new V.

\n" ); document.write( "That's simple enough; I leave it to you.

\n" ); document.write( "A common sense solution....

\n" ); document.write( "The height is changed by a factor of 6/8 = 3/4; that changes the volume by a factor of 3/4.
\n" ); document.write( "The radius is changed by a factor of 4/2 = 2; that changes the volume by a factor of 2^2 = 4.

\n" ); document.write( "The volume of the second cone is

\n" ); document.write( "\"%2833.5%29%283%2F4%29%284%29=100.5\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 100.5 cubic cm
