Algebra.Com's Answer #581383 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 = \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 = \n" ); document.write( "Now increase the radius by 10%, then the radius = 11, h is still 20 \n" ); document.write( "V = \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( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Did this unconfuse you somewhat? ankor@att.net \n" ); document.write( " |
