SOLUTION: a cylindrical can holds 100 cm cubed. if the radius of the can is doubled and the height is halved what is the new volume of the can

Question 871051: a cylindrical can holds 100 cm cubed. if the radius of the can is doubled and the height is halved what is the new volume of the can

cylinder volume = 100 cm^3
r1=radius
h1=height
100= pi*r1^2*h1
V2= pi * r2^2*h2...............(1)
but r2=2r1
and h2 = h1/2
V2= pi * (2r1)^2*(h1/2).................(2)
divide
100/V2 = (pi*r1^2*h1)/(pi*4r1^2*(1/2)h1)
100/V2= 1/2
V2= 200 cm^3
