please help
OpenStudy (primeralph):
The surface area and volume increase,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
^ he's right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
obviously but i know the volume is 4 times greater but what about the surface area
OpenStudy (primeralph):
Well, calculate it.

wow i bet im better at you at math what grade are you in
OpenStudy (primeralph):
And the volume is more than 4 time greater.
yeah, you bet you're better than me at Math.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope becuase i calculated it
OpenStudy (primeralph):
Show me.

see
OpenStudy (primeralph):
V = pi *r*r*h
When dimensions are doubled, V = pi*2r*2r*2h = 8pi *r*r*h
So the new volume is 8 times the original.

then what did I do wrong?????????????????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OHHHHHHHHH
OpenStudy (primeralph):
You said V = pi*r^2. You left out the h.
Looks like you're really good at Math.

yeah well i have a headache and i just had the flu
OpenStudy (primeralph):
Of course.
Good luck.

Volume increases as the cube of the dimensional ratio increase; area will change as the square. In the case where the length of everything doubles, that means volume increases by a factor of eight, area by a factor of four.
