Question

A conical tent has a radius of 6.2 yd and a height of 13.2 yd. Doubling which dimension(s) will double the volume of the tent?

both height and radius
neither height nor radius
height
radius

Answer 1

• Doubling the dimension of only the height doubles volume.

A conical tent is the form of a cone, and as such, we are dealing with a cone here. Volume of a cone is equal to

• V = 1/3πr²h, where  

1. V = volume of the cone
2. r = radius of the cone
3. h = height of the cone

Initial volume of the cone,

V = 1/3 * 3.142 * 6.2² * 13.2

V = 531.36 yd³

In the same vein, if you double the height, we have

V = 1/3 * 3.142 * 6.2² * 26.4

V = 1062.71 yd³
