A food company distributes its tomato soup in two cans of different sizes. For the larger can, the diameter has been increased by 10%, and the height remains the same.
\n" ); document.write( "By what percentage does the volume of the can increase from the smaller can to the larger can? Round your answer to the nearest percent.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you increase the diameter by 10%, you also increase the radius by 10%
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the radius is 1, then if it is increased by 10% it will 1.1
\n" ); document.write( "Note that in the volume equation, the radius is squared therefore it will be
\n" ); document.write( "1.1^2 which equals 1.21; that is an increase in volume of 21%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let's prove that. let the radius = 10 and h = 20, find the volume
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"pi%2A10%5E2%2A20\" = 6283 cu/cm
\n" ); document.write( "Now increase the radius by 10%, then the radius = 11, h is still 20
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"pi%2A11%5E2%2A20\" = 7603 cu/cm
\n" ); document.write( "Find the increase in volume
\n" ); document.write( "7603 - 6283 = 1320 cu/cm increase
\n" ); document.write( "Find the percent increase
\n" ); document.write( "\"1320%2F6283\" * 100 = 21%
