Are these correct?
After doubled height:
The volume is doubled
Volume after doubled height: 1800cm
After doubled radius:
The volume is quadrupled
Volume after doubled radius: 3600cm
A cone with a radius of 3 cm, and a volume of 900cm.
The height is 95.493cm?
how is the volume affected if the height is doubled, and how is it affected if the radius is doubled?

V = (1/3)πr^2 h
so if you just double the height, the volume is doubled
if you double the radius, the volume will be quadrupled
r^2 ----> (2r)^2 = 4r^2
if you double both height AND radius, the volume would increase
by a factor of 8
r^2 h ---> (2r)^2 (2h) = 8r^2 h
so if you just double the height, the volume is doubled
if you double the radius, the volume will be quadrupled
r^2 ----> (2r)^2 = 4r^2
if you double both height AND radius, the volume would increase
by a factor of 8
r^2 h ---> (2r)^2 (2h) = 8r^2 h
