A cylinder has a radius r and a length l. if the radius were to double and the length were to stay the same, by what factor would the surface area change?

Respuesta :

Answer:

double

Explanation:

radius = r

length = l

Surface area, A = 2 π r l .... (1)

Now the radius is doubled = 2r

length is same

Surface area, A' = 2 x π x 2 r x l

A' = 2 x 2πrl

A' = 2 A      (from equation (1)

Thus, the surface area is doubled.  

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of cylinder is r and length l

If radius is doubled and length remain same

Surface area of cylinder is [tex]A_1=2\pi rL[/tex]

New Surface area [tex]A_2=2\pi (2r)L[/tex]

Percentage change in Surface area [tex]=\frac{A_2-A_1}{A_1}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2\pi (2r)L-2\pi (r)L}{2\pi (r)L}\times 100=100 \%[/tex]
