Answer:

The answer is the option B

The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of [tex]18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

[tex]V1=\pi r^{2}h[/tex] ------> original volume

In this problem

[tex]h=2h\ units[/tex]

[tex]r=3r\ units[/tex]

substitute in the formula

[tex]V2=\pi (3r)^{2}(2h)[/tex]

[tex]V2=18\pi r^{2}h[/tex]  

[tex]V2=18V1[/tex]  

therefore

The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of [tex]18[/tex]

The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of 18. Option (B) is correct.

Further explanation:

Given:

The radius of the cylinder is [tex]{\text{4 units}}[/tex] and the height of the cylinder is [tex]{\text{6 units}}.[/tex]

The options are given as follows.

A. The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of 6.

B. The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of 18.

C. The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of 12.

D. The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of 32.

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of the cylinder can be expressed as,

[tex]\boxed{{\text{Volume}} = \pi {r^2}h}[/tex]

Here, ‘[tex]r[/tex]” represents the radius of the cylinder and “[tex]h[/tex]” represents the height of the cylinder.

The radius increased by a factor of 3.

The height increased by a factor of 2.

The new volume of the cylinder can be obtained as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Final Volume}} &= \pi {\left( {3r} \right)^2}\left( {2h} \right)\\&=\pi\times \left( {9{r^2}} \right) \times \left( {2h} \right)\\&= 18\pi {r^2}h\\&= 18 \times {\text{Volume}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The volume of the cylinder increases by a factor of 18. Option (B) is correct.

Option A is not correct.

Option B is correct.

Option C is not correct.

Option D is not correct.
