The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

If both the height and radius of a cone are multiplied by 3, the new radius and height will be 3r and 3h, respectively.

We can substitute these values into the volume formula for the new cone:

V = (1/3)π(3r)^2(3h)

Simplifying the expression gives:

V = (1/3)π(27r^2h)

V = 9πr^2h

So, the volume of the new cone is 9 times larger than the volume of the original cone.

Therefore, if both the height and radius of a cone are each multiplied by 3, the volume of the cone is multiplied by 9
