A cylinder with radius 5 inches and height 10 inches has its radius tripled. How many times greater is the volume of the larger cylinder than the smaller cylinder?
Added by Michelle T.
Step 1
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. For the smaller cylinder, r = 5 inches and h = 10 inches. So, the volume of the smaller cylinder is: V1 = π(5^2)(10) = 250π cubic inches. Now, we triple the Show more…
