The breadth of a cuboid is \(6\) cm. The length of the cuboid is \(150\%\) that of its breadth, and the breadth of the cuboid is \(150\%\) that of its height.

  1. Find the length and height of the cuboid.
  2. Find the volume of the cuboid.
  3. If the length of the cuboid is increased by \(50\%\) and the breadth of the cuboid is decreased by \(50\%\), while the height of the cuboid does not change. Find the new length and breadth of the cuboid.
