Hey

OpenStudy (anteater):

Solid geometry. :) Let's see

OpenStudy (anteater):

So the radius goes from 5 cm to 10 cm. How many times larger is the radius than it was before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 more? I'm guessing.

OpenStudy (anteater):

10/5 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anteater):

So the radius is twice as large. If the radius is twice as large, how many times as large will that make the area of the base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anteater):

Yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks. I need help on the same type of question but different problem.

OpenStudy (anteater):

And so they changed the base by a factor of 4, but they didn't change the height at all. So the overall effect on the volume will just be ...?

OpenStudy (anteater):

Yes, 4 is the answer ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the volume is multiplied by 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anteater):

You have another question?

OpenStudy (anteater):

Yes :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I'll post it, not here though.

OpenStudy (anteater):

Ok, I will look for it.
