Two cones have the same volume. If one has a base with radius 3 times as large as the other's and a height of 24 inches, how many inches tall is the other?

Note: The volume of a cone is \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h,\) where r is the radius and h is the height.

we have the expression (3x)^2*24=x^2*y we solve that (3x)^2=9x^2 and 9x^2 is and 9x^2 is 9 times x^2 so the height of the other cone is y=27*9=216 inches and our final answer is 216 inches

We cancel out the 1/3 and the 𝝅 so we have this

R = 3             r = 1

 

1/3 * pi * 32 * 24 = 1/3 * pi * 12 * h

 

226.1946711 = 1.047197551 * h

 

h = 216  surprisesmiley
