Full solution

Q. A cone has a volume of 365 mm3 365 \mathrm{~mm}^{3} . If a scale factor of 00.55 were applied to the cone, what would its new volume be?
  1. Understand Relationship Scale Factor Volume: Understand the relationship between the scale factor and the volume of the cone.\newlineWhen a scale factor is applied to a three-dimensional object, the new volume is the cube of the scale factor times the original volume. This is because volume is a three-dimensional measure, and scaling an object affects its length, width, and height.
  2. Apply Scale Factor Find Volume: Apply the scale factor to the original volume to find the new volume.\newlineThe scale factor is 0.50.5, so we need to cube this scale factor to apply it to the volume.\newlineNew Volume = (Scale Factor)3^3 * Original Volume\newlineNew Volume = (0.5)3365mm3(0.5)^3 * 365 \, \text{mm}^3
  3. Calculate New Volume: Calculate the new volume.\newlineNew Volume = (0.5×0.5×0.5)×365mm3(0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5) \times 365 \, \text{mm}^3\newlineNew Volume = (0.125)×365mm3(0.125) \times 365 \, \text{mm}^3\newlineNew Volume = 45.625mm345.625 \, \text{mm}^3\newlineSince volume is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, we can round this to 46mm346 \, \text{mm}^3.
