Coffee is sold in two different sized canisters. The smaller canister has a diameter of 9 cm and a height of 12 cm. The larger canister is double the size of the small canister (i.e., the diameter and height are doubled). Calculate the volume and surface area of each canister and compare the results of doubling the dimensions.

Answer:

The larger canister has 8 times the volume and 4 times the volume of the smaller one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller canister has a diameter of 9 cm (radius = 4.5 cm) and height of 12 cm.

The larger canister has double the diameter and height of the smaller one. The diameter of the larger canister is 18 cm (radius = 9 cm) and height of 24 cm.

The canisters are in the shape of a cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

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

The surface area of a cylinder is given as:

A = 2πr(r + h)

SMALLER CANISTER

Volume = π * 4.5 * 4.5 * 12 = 763.41 cubic centimetres

Area = 2 * π * 4.5(4.5 + 12) = 2 * π * 4.5 * 16.5 = 466.53 square centimetres

LARGER CANISTER

Volume = π * 9 * 9 * 24 = 6107.26 cubic centimetres

Area = 2 * π * 9(9 + 24) = 2 * π * 9 * 33 = 1866.11 square centimetres

By reason of comparison, the larger canister has 8 times the volume and 4 times the volume of the smaller one despite having double the dimensions.

Answer:

Yeah, what they said above.
