Question 1172753: The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V=Ï€r2h. If r is increased by 50% and the height is reduced by 25%, what will happen to the volume? What is the constant of variation?

When the radius in increased by 50%, the radius is changed by a factor of 1.5.
When the height is reduced by 25%, the height is changed by a factor of 0.75.
So the volume is changed by a factor of
The constant of variation is obviously pi....
