Problem

In two similar right circular cones, the slant height of the smaller cone is 6 cm6\,\text{cm} and its volume is 64 cm364\,\text{cm}^{3}. The slant height of the larger cone is 9 cm9\,\text{cm}. (a) Find the linear scaling factor from the smaller cone to the larger cone. (b) Determine the volume of the larger cone. (c) Calculate the ratio of the total surface area of the larger cone to that of the smaller cone.
