If a sphere’s volume is doubled, what is the corresponding change in its radius?

Volume of a sphere = (4/3) (pi) (radius)³

The sphere's volume is proportional to the cube of its radius,
so the radius is proportional to the cube-root of the volume.

The only way to double a sphere's volume is to increase
its radius by the factor of
∛2 = 1.26 (rounded).

How does the volume of a sphere compare to that of the volume of a cylinder? What would you say the scale factor for Vol sphere:

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The volume of a sphere is 2/3 times the volume of a similar cylinder

Scale factor : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a sphere of radius r. The volume of the sphere will be given as

$V_{s}=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Similarly, let us consider a cylinder with its height being twice the radius of the sphere. We will have its volume given as:

$V_{c}=\pi r^{2}h$

but h = 2r

Hence we have

$V_{c}= 2\pi r^{3}h$

We can divide the two volumes to get a constant that links them together

$\frac{V_{s}}{V_{c}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}{2\pi r^{3}h}$

this will give us 2/3

Hence the scale factor for Vol sphere: Vol cylinder is 2/3
