\n" ); document.write( "Tutor @ikleyn is right in saying that you can answer the problem by plugging the given numbers into the formula. You shouldn't need our help to do that.

\n" ); document.write( "On the other hand, the problem asks you to DESCRIBE how tripling the radius affects the surface area. For that question, you should note that

\n" ); document.write( "(a) tripling the radius multiplies the top and bottom surface areas by 9, because the formula for the area of the top and bottom surfaces, \"A+=+%28pi%29r%5E2\", involves the square of the radius.

\n" ); document.write( "(b) tripling the radius multiplies the lateral surface area by 3, because the formula for the lateral surface area, \"A+=+2%28pi%29rh\", only involves the radius to the first power.
