The company plans to have the tanks painted after they are installed. Describe the effect that doubling the diameter has on the amount of paint needed to paint the tanks. What happens when the diameter is increased by a factor of 3?

The effect of doubling the diameter is increased the area to paint as 4 times. So, paint needed is 4 times than it was before. And the area is increased by 9 times when the diameter is increased by a factor of 3. So, paint needed is 9 times than before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please remember the concept

If side lengths are in the ratio a : b

Then the area are in the ratio of a^2 :b^2

The volume are in the ratio of a^3 :b^3,

When diameter is doubled, the area ratio becomes which is simplified to

So, the area is increased by 4 times.

According to this concept , the diameter is increased by the scale factor 3.

Let the diameter of tank is 'x', so the diameter becomes "3x"

So, it's area ratio would be

If we simplify it we get

We conclude that  area to be increased by 9 times.

astronomers is your final answer! : )

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
