Answer:
(D)SCALE FACTOR = 3 so, the left has 27 times more volume than the right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two similar cylinders, where the scale factor is 3.
Since the image is not here, I will illustrate using figures.
Smaller Cylinder
Radius =2cm, Height=3cm
Volume
[tex]=\pi r^2h\\=\pi*2^2*3=12\pi cm^3[/tex]
Larger Cylinder(Scale Factor of 3)
Radius =2X3=6cm, Height=3X3=9cm
Volume
[tex]=\pi r^2h\\=\pi*6^2*9=324\pi cm^3[/tex]
We can see that:
Volume of Larger Cylinder [tex]=27 X 12\pi =324\pi cm^3[/tex]
Therefore: Option D is the correct option.
In general, given similar solids, the ratio of their volume is:
