Question

A can has a radius of 3 inches and a height of 8 inches. If the height is doubled, how would it affect the original volume of the can?

Answer 1

In the formula, the radius is being squared. That means that doubling the radius of the cylinder will quadruple the volume. ... If we put all of that information together (doubling the radius quadruples the volume, while doubling the height doubles the volume), we find that the volume will be 8 times as large
