well, do you have the formula for a "right circular cylinder"?

anonymous · Answer

yea its V=3.14 x radius squared x h

jdoe0001 · Answer

then, that's it :), just plug the numbers in to get the "volume" of twice as wide :), keep in mind that, "radius" is half of the diameter

anonymous · Answer

but i need to know how much it holds when i double it

jdoe0001 · Answer

if the 1st can was 2inches of diameter, the 2nd can would be 4inch $$\frac{4}{2}=r$$ the height is the same for both, so is "h"

anonymous · Answer

the first can holds 12 so would the 2nd can hold 24?
