if the radius of a sphere is double, by what factor will the volume change?
Added by Devin S.
Step 1
If the radius of the sphere is doubled, the new radius would be 2r. Substituting this new radius into the volume formula, we get V = (4/3)π(2r)^3 = (4/3)π(8r^3) = (32/3)πr^3. Comparing this to the original volume formula, we can see that the volume has Show more…
