The volume of the cone with changed dimensions is #27# times the volume of the original cone.

Volume of a Cone #=pir^2timesh/3# where #r=radius and h = height#
Let us say New #R=3r# and New #H=3h#

So volume of the cone with changed dimensions

#=piR^2timesH/3#

Plugging the values #R=3r# and #H=3h#

we get
volume of the cone with changed dimensions

#=pi(3r)^2times(3h)/3#

#=27pir^2h/3#

Hence the volume of the cone with changed dimensions is #27# times the volume of the original cone.

Becomes 27 times greater than the original volume

Since volume of a cone #V=(pi*h*r ^2)/3#

In the original situation this is the formula.

Now we have 3r (for new radius at the bottom) and 3h as new height.

If you insert these into above equation, you will get

#V=27*(pi*h*r^ 2)/3#
