Explain the Error. 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?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Because the formula for the volume of a cylinder is
\pi r^2 h, when you multiply the radius by 2, the volume increases by
2^2=4 times. Hope this helps!
