cylindervolume=hpir^2

V=432
432=hpir^2=original

if each is divided by 3 then
h turns to (1/3)h
r turns to (1/3)r
input and find the effect

(1/3)hpi[(1/3)r]^2
(1/3)hpi(1/9)r^2
move 1/9 to front
(1/27)hpir^2
compared to original volume (which was hpir^2)

so therefor we multiply the original volume by 1/27

432*1/27=16

the new volume is 16 cubic meters
