Mr. Kelly's company manufactures a cylindrical soup can that has a diameter of 6 inches and a volume of 226 cubic inches. If the diameter stays the same and the height is doubled, what will happen to the can's volume?​

Respuesta :

The volume of a cylinder is given by

[tex]V = A_bh[/tex]

Where [tex]A_b[/tex] is the base area and h is the height.

So, if we call [tex]V_1,\ V_2[/tex] the volumes with the original and the doubled area, we have

[tex]V_1 = A_bh,\quad V_2 = A_b(2h)[/tex]

Since the height was doubled. We deduce that

[tex]\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}=\dfrac{2A_bh}{A_bh}=2[/tex]

So, if the height is doubled, the volume will double as well.
