John has a cylindrical propane tank that measures 8" in diameter and 8" tall If John buys a new cylindrical propane tank that is twice as wide and half as tall as his
current tank, how much larger will the volume of the new tank be?

2 times as large

Step-by-step explanation:

For the original cylinder, we can say that the volume of a cylinder is equal to V= πr²h. For this cylinder, we can say that  V = π * radius² * height. The radius is equal to 1/2 of the diameter, so the original radius is 8/2 = 4. Therefore, the volume of the original cylinder is V = π * radius² * height = π * 4² * 8 = π * 16 * 8 = π * 128

For the new cylinder, "twice as wide" means that the diameter is twice as big as the original one. Half the height means that the height is halved. The new diameter is therefore 8 * 2 = 16 (meaning that the new radius is 16/2=8) while the new height is 8/2 = 4. The new volume is thus

V = π * radius² * height = π * 8² * 4 = π * 64 * 4 = π * 256

To see how much larger the new tank volume is, we can divide (new tank volume) by (old tank volume), resulting in

π * 256 / (π *128) = 2

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

answer is 33
