A cylinder has a radius of 4 cm and a height of 5 cm.a) What is the volume of the cylinder?b) What is the volume of the cylinder when its radius is tripled?c) What is the volume of the cylinder when its radius is halved?



Answer :

Answer

a) Volume of the cylinder = 80π cm³ = 251.43 cm³

b) New volume of the cylinder when radius triples = 720 π cm³ = 2262.86 cm³

The new volume = 9 × (The original volume) when the radius is tripled.

c) New volume of the cylinder = 20π cm³ = 62.86 cm³

The new volume = ¼ × (The original volume) when the radius is halved.

OR

The original volume = 4 × (The new volume) when the radius is halved.

Explanation

The volume of a cylinder is given as

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

where

π = pi

r = radius of the cylinder

h = height of the cylinder

a) Volume of a cylinder, radius = 4 cm, height = 5cm

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of the cylinder = π (4²) (5) = 80π cm³

b) The new volume of the cylinder when the radius is tripled.

Original radius = 4 cm

When it is tripled,

New radius = 3 (4 cm) = 12 cm

Height = 5 cm

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of a cylinder = π (12²) (5) = 720π cm³

We can see that the new volume is the original volume.

c) The new volume of the cylinder when the radius is halved.

Original radius = 4 cm

When it is halved,

New radius = ½ (4 cm) = 2 cm

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of a cylinder = π (2²) (5) = 20π cm³

We can see that the new volume is ¼× the original volume.

Or the original volume is 4 × the new volume when the radius is halved.

Hope this Helps!!!!
