Answer:
Explanation:
The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
The current volume of the cylinder is:
V = π(12cm)^2(15cm)
V = π(144cm^2)(15cm)
V = 2160π cm^3
If the dimensions of the cylinder are tripled, then the new cylinder will have a radius of 3(12cm) = 36cm and a height of 3(15cm) = 45cm.
The new volume of the cylinder is:
V = π(36cm)^2(45cm)
V = π(1296cm^2)(45cm)
V = 58320π cm^3
Simplifying the expression, we get:
V ≈ 183,124.8 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the new cylinder, when the dimensions are tripled, is approximately 183,124.8 cm^3.
The answer is C) 183,124.8 cm^3.
