Answer:
the original volume is lesser than the new volume by 242.47 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cone is;
V = ⅓πr²h
Where;
r is radius
h is height
For the original chamber;
r = 5.7/2 = 2.85 inches
h = 12 inches
Volume of this original chamber is;
V_orig = ⅓ × π × 2.85² × 12
V_orig = 102.02 in³
In the new design, the chamber is scaled by a factor of 1.5.
Thus;
r_new = 2.85 × 1.5 = 4.275 inches
h_new = 12 × 1.5 = 18 inches
V_new = ⅓ × π × 4.275² × 18
V_new = 344.49 inch³
V_new - V_orig = 344.49 - 102.02 =
Thus, the original volume is lesser than the new volume by 242.47 in³
