If the radius of a sphere is tripled, then its volume will increase 27 times. Select one: True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it true? @hhmh4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure about this one

OpenStudy (gorv):

formula of volume of sphere =\[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\pi*r^3\]

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

true I believe

OpenStudy (gorv):

if replace r by 3r what will u get

OpenStudy (gorv):

volume proportion to r^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27

OpenStudy (gorv):

yeah

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the reason it's true is the the linear measurement is tripled and you are working in 3 dimensions of cubic units so its the (linear scaling factor)^3 you can test it by finding the volume of a sphere radius 1 unit and then the volume of a sphere 3 units then compare the volumes

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

good! :)
