Question

cyclinder B is the image of cylinder A after dilation by a scale factor of 2. If the volume of cyclinder A is 201 km^3 ,find the volume of cylinder B the image

Answer 1

Given:

Volume of Cylinder A = 201 km³

Cylinder B is twice as a Cylinder A

Find: Volume of Cylinder B

Solution:

1. Since we are talking about volume, get the cube of the scale factor 2.

$2^3=2\times2\times2=8$

2. Multiply the result by the volume of the Cylinder A.

$8\times201km^3=1,608km^3$

Therefore, the volume of the image Cylinder B is 1, 608 km³.
