If the height of a cylinder is doubled, by what number must the radius of the base be multiplied so that the resulting cylinder has the same volumes as the original cylinder?
Let radius of cylinder = r
Let height of cylinder = h
So, volume = πr2h
Now height is doubled = 2h
So , volume = πr2×2h = 2πr2h.
To gain a volume same as original volume we have to multiply r by
New r =
Height = 2h
Volume = πr2h =
