Answer:

19.5

Explanation:

The Volume of a cone is h/3(r²)
\pi

That means, for the larger cone,

66=h/3(3²)(
\pi)

66=h/3*9
\pi

66/9
\pi*3=h

h=7, so the height of the larger cone is seven

Since the cones are similar, it has to have the same ratio. 7/3 of 2 is 4.6666. So the height of the smaller cone is 4.66666.

Putting that in the formula,

V=(4.66666/3)(2²)
\pi

V=1.555555*4*
\pi

V=19.547
