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

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Volume of the cylinder V = πr²h

Here, the radius r remains the same, so πr² remains constant.

If the height h is doubled, the new height = 2h

New volume V' = πr² × 2h

V' = 2πr²h

V' = 2V

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder will double.
