If the height of a right prism is increased by 100% and base area remains the same, what is the percentage increase in volume?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 100%.
Let height = h, base area = A
Original volume = Ah
New height = 2h
New volume = A × 2h = 2Ah
Volume increase = 2h - h = h
Percentage increase = (h/h) × 100 = 100%
