What is the height of the smaller model in this statue scaling problem?

[Payne0511]

Homework Statement

A statue is to be 'scaled down.' It will have its size changed without changing its shape. It starts with an initial volume of 4.25 m^3 and ends up with a final volume of 0.250 m^3.

If the height of the original statue was 215 cm, calculate the height of the smaller model.

Homework Equations

no clue

The Attempt at a Solution

I am assuming there has to be some sort of proportionality to this. the volume is shrinking to 1/17th the original size. the height is only one of the three dimensions that make up the volume. so there must be someway to use that to figure this out, but I have no idea.

thanks

Find the cube root of 1/17. That into the original height of the statue will be the new height of the smaller statue.
