Thank you!

Radius = X
Height = y

Volume or W = 1/3 * x^2 * y * pi = (x^2ypi)/3

3 times --> Radius = 3x
Height = 3y

VOlume = 1/3 * pi * (3x)^2 * 3y = 9x^2y*pi

W = (x^2ypi)/3
Vol. =  9x^2y*pi

W * 27 = Vol.

27W
----------

cii) Radius = 2x

      Height = y

Vol. = 1/3 * pi * (2x)^2 * y = (4x^2ypi)/3

W = (x^2ypi)/3

W * 4 = Vol.

Therefore, 4W

PS : Volume of a cone = 1/3*pi*r^2*h

bi) Hits , Hits and Hits. = 1/3*1/3*1/3 = 1/27

bii) The probability that she never hits is 2/3*2/3*2/3 = 8/27

1 - 8/27 = 19/27

c)i) Hits in 4th throw = Doesnt hit, Doesnt Hit, Doesnt Hit, Hits.

Doesnt hit = 1- 1/4 = 3/4

3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 * 1/4 = 27/256


cii) This means that he "Doesnt hit" till the nth throw. Till the nth throw means that he doesnt hit for the first (n-1)th throw.

     LIke (ci), u multiply 3/4 for (n-1) times and multiply it with 1/4

Therefore, (3/4)(n-1) * 1/4

W * 27 = Vol.

27W
----------

cii) Radius = 2x

      Height = y

Vol. = 1/3 * pi * (2x)^2 * y = (4x^2ypi)/3

W = (x^2ypi)/3

W * 4 = Vol.

Therefore, 4W

PS : Volume of a cone = 1/3*pi*r^2*h

Thanks a billion for that reply! I owe you ;)

Hello everyone!!!

Can some1 please explain this question:

(c) A different cone, with radius x and height y, has a volume W.

Find, in terms of W, the volume of: (ii) a cone of radius 2x and height y.

I understand that Vol. = 1/3 * pi * (2x)^2 * y

But i dont know how it becomes: (4x^2ypi)/3

Can u please explain furthur if possible? Thanks a lot!!
