Question 778397: The Bausch Company produces cylindrical water tanks. If the height of a water tank is reduced from 10 feet to 5 feet and the radius is doubled, what will happen to the volume of the water tank?

The height is cut in half, but the radius is doubled. So this balances out (since 1/2 times 2 = 1) so to speak, which doesn't change the volume at all. So The volume remains the same.
