Question

Coffee is sold in two different sized canisters. The smaller canister has a diameter of 9 cm and a height of 12 cm. The larger canister is double the size of the small canister (i.e., the diameter and height are doubled). Calculate the volume and surface area of each canister and compare the results of doubling the dimensions.

Answer 1

Yeah, what she said above.

Explanation:

Answer 2

This means volume of the larger canister is 8 times more than volume of the smaller canister.

This means surface area of the larger canister is 4 times greater than volume of the smaller canister.

Explanation:

Smaller canister

Diameter=9cm

Radius=diameter/2

=9/2=4.5cm

Height=12cm

Larger canister (double of the smaller canister)

Radius=4.5*2=9cm

Height=12*2=24cm

Volume=πr^2h

Surface area=2πrh + 2πr^2

Volume of smaller canister=πr^2h

=3.14*(4.5)^2*12

=3.14*20.25*12

=763.02

Surface area of the smaller canister=2πrh + 2πr^2

=2*3.14*4.5*12 + 2*3*14*(4.5)^2

=339.12 + 127.17

=466.29

Volume of larger canister=πr^2h

=3.14*(9)^2*24

=3.14*81*24

=6104.16

Surface area of larger canister=2πrh + 2πr^2

=2*3*14*9*24 + 2*3.14*(9)^2

=1356.48 + 508.68

=1865.16

Compare smaller and larger volume of the canister:

Volume if larger/volume of smaller

=6104.16/763.02

=8

This means volume of the larger canister is 8 times more than volume of the smaller canister

Compare surface area of larger and smaller canister:

Surface area of larger canister/surface area of smaller canister=1865.16/466.29

=4

This means surface area of the larger canister is 4 times greater than volume of the smaller canister
