what happens to the volume of a come if both radius and height get doubled

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

what's the formula for the volume of a cone?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

1/3pir^2h, right

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

so if we double the radius and height, it becomes 1/3 pi (2r)^2 2h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its quadrupled???

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

nope, increased by a factor of 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no srry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wht do u mean?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

the two is squared, and times the other 2 it equals 8

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

1/3 4r 2h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont understand

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

the 2r is squared.

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

because its r^2 originally, so if we double the radius, it becomes (2r)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok i got it nvm thanks you

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

No problem

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf volume=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\quad \textit{doubled "h" and "r"}\implies \cfrac{\pi (2r)^2 2h}{3}\\ \quad \\ \implies \cfrac{\pi 2^2r^2 2h}{3}\implies \cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\cdot (2^2\cdot 2)\implies \cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\cdot 8\)
