Algebra.Com's Answer #814781 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "A classical mathematical solution.... \n" ); document.write( " \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( " \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 100.5 cubic cm \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
