If the height of a cone is doubled while keeping the radius the same, how does the volume change?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The volume of the cone is V = 1/3 × πr²h.

Here, the radius r remains the same, while the height h is doubled.

Therefore, the new volume V' = 1/3 × πr² × 2h.

V' = 2V.

The volume will double.
