Cevap

The volume of a right circular cylinder is calculated using the formula V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h. When the radius rr is tripled to 3r3r and the height hh remains constant, the volume is multiplied by 32=93^2 = 9. Thus, the new volume is 99 times the original volume of 2020 cubic inches, which equals 180180 cubic inches.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Write down the formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder.
V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h
To identify how the volume of a cylinder relates to its radius and height.
2
Determine the effect of tripling the radius on the volume formula.
Vnew=π(3r)2h=9πr2hV_{\text{new}} = \pi (3r)^2 h = 9\pi r^2 h
Substituting the new radius 3r3r into the formula shows that the new volume is 9 times the original volume.
3
Substitute the original volume of 2020 cubic inches into the expression for the new volume.
Vnew=9×20=180V_{\text{new}} = 9 \times 20 = 180
Since the original volume πr2h\pi r^2 h equals 2020, we multiply this value by 9 to find the new volume.
