Question 549976
if the volume of a right circular cone increases by 33.1% to form a similar cone, find the percentage increase in its height
---------
1 = 33.1% --> 1.331 times the volume
{{{Vol = pi*r^2*h/3}}}
If the 2 are similar, the height and radius are in the same ratio, and volume is a function of the product.
{{{(x*r)^2*(x*h) = x^3*r^2*h}}}
x^3 = 1.331
x = 1.1
An increase of 10%
