The standard formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr2h. If the cylinder is scaled proportionally by a factor of k, its volume becomes V' = V × k3. Use your algebra skills to derive the steps that lead from V = πr2h to V' = V × k3 for a scaled cylinder. Show your work.

So, r' (the new r) becomes kr, and h'=h*k,

so V' = pi * (r')^2*h' = pi * (r*k)^2*(h*k) = pi*r^2*h*k^3 = V * k^3

Convinced?

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

so

[tex]k=r'/r[/tex] and [tex]k=h'/h[/tex]

The volume of the original cylinder is equal to

[tex]V=\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

If the cylinder is scaled proportionally by a factor of k

then

the new radius is ------> [tex]r'=kr[/tex]

the new height is ------> [tex]h'=kh[/tex]

The volume of the scaled cylinder is equal to

[tex]V'=\pi r'^{2}h'[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]V'=\pi (kr)^{2}(kh)[/tex]

[tex]V'=(k^{3})\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Remember that

[tex]V=\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

so

substitute

[tex]V'=V(k^{3})[/tex]

The volume of the scaled cylinder is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube multiplied by the volume of the original cylinder
