Let's analyze the volume changes for each shape based on their dimensions increasing.

  1. Cone's radius increases x 3: The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by \( V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \). If the radius \( r \) increases by a factor of 3 (i.e., becomes \( 3r \)), the new volume \( V' \) becomes: \[ V' = \frac{1}{3} \pi (3r)^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi (9r^2) h = 9 \left( \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \right) = 9V \] Therefore, the cone's volume will increase by a factor of 9.

  2. Cone's height increases x 3: If the height \( h \) increases by a factor of 3 (i.e., becomes \( 3h \)), the new volume \( V'' \) will be: \[ V'' = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 (3h) = 3 \left( \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \right) = 3V \] Therefore, the cone's volume will increase by a factor of 3.

  3. Sphere's radius increases x 3: The volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \). If the radius \( r \) increases by a factor of 3 (i.e., becomes \( 3r \)), the new volume \( V' \) becomes: \[ V' = \frac{4}{3} \pi (3r)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (27r^3) = 27V \] Therefore, the sphere's volume will increase by a factor of 27.

  4. Cylinder's radius increases x 6: The volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by \( V = \pi r^2 h \). If the radius \( r \) increases by a factor of 6 (i.e., becomes \( 6r \)), the new volume \( V' \) becomes: \[ V' = \pi (6r)^2 h = \pi (36r^2) h = 36V \] Therefore, the cylinder's volume will increase by a factor of 36.

Now, let's match the statements:

  • A cone's radius increases x 3 → the cone's volume will increase x 9
  • A cone's height increases x 3 → the cone's volume will increase x 3
  • A sphere's radius increases x 3 → the sphere's volume will increase x 27
  • A cylinder's radius increases x 6 → the cylinder's volume will increase x 36

So, the complete matching will be:

  1. a cone's radius increases x 3 → the cone's volume will increase x 9
  2. a cone's height increases x 3 → the cone's volume will increase x 3
  3. a sphere's radius increases x 3 → the sphere's volume will increase x 27
  4. a cylinder's radius increases x 6 → the cylinder's volume will increase x 36
