Answer:

(i) For [tex]2\cdot h[/tex], the volume is [tex]96\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.

(ii) For [tex]5\cdot h[/tex], the volume is [tex]240\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.

(iii) For [tex]\frac{h}{2}[/tex], the volume is [tex]24\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.

(iv) For [tex]\frac{h}{5}[/tex], the volume is [tex]9.6\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cylinder ([tex]V[/tex]), measured in cubic centimeters, is defined by the following formula:

[tex]V = \pi\cdot r^{2}\cdot h[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]r[/tex] - Radius, measured  in centimeters.

[tex]h[/tex] - Height, measured in centimeters.

From statement, we understand that volume of the cylinder is directly proportional to its height. That is:

[tex]V \propto h[/tex]

[tex]V = k\cdot h[/tex] (2)

Where [tex]k[/tex] is the proportionality constant, measured in square centimeters.

In addition, we eliminate this constant by constructing the following relationship:

[tex]\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{h_{2}}{h_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} = \frac{h_{2}}{h_{1}} \cdot V_{1}[/tex] (3)

Based on (3) and knowing that [tex]V_{1} = 48\pi[/tex], we calculate the volumes for each height ratio:

(i) For [tex]2\cdot h[/tex], the volume is [tex]96\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.

(ii) For [tex]5\cdot h[/tex], the volume is [tex]240\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.

(iii) For [tex]\frac{h}{2}[/tex], the volume is [tex]24\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.

(iv) For [tex]\frac{h}{5}[/tex], the volume is [tex]9.6\pi[/tex] cubic centimeters.
