A Student said the volume of a cylinder with a 3-inch diameter is two times the volume of a cylinder with the same height and a 1.5-inch radius. What is the error?

They would be the same because the formula is volume equals pi radius squared times height. So you would use the radius of 1.5 instead of the diameter of 3
