PLEASE HELP!

3. A certain can of soup has a radius of 4 cm and a height of 10 cm. For a new can, the height
and the radius will each be increased by x cm. Find the polynomial that gives the volume of the
new can in cm'. Leave your answer in terms of . [Use V = pi r^2h​

Answer:

The volume of the new can is
V_2=160x^3\pi\ cm^3

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z ----> the scale factor

In this problem


z=x

The volume of the original can is


V_1=\pi r^(2)h

The volume of the new can is


V_2=z^(3)V_1


V_2=x^3(\pi r^(2)h)

we have


r=4\ cm\\h=10\ cm

substitute


V_2=x^3(\pi (4)^(2)10)


V_2=160x^3\pi\ cm^3
