Question

If the height of a cylinder is tripled, but the area of the base stays the same, what happens to the volume?

The volume is nine times greater.
The volume doubles.
The volume is four times greater.
The volume triples.

Answer 1

V = b*h, where b = area of the base and h = height

if the height is tripled, then h becomes 3h instead. what happens to the volume when you set the height as 3h instead of just h?
