It is quadrupled.


What is the area of a parallelogram if the base and height are doubled?

As area_of_parallelogram = base x height if they are both doubled then: new_area = (2 x base) x (2 x height) = 4 x (base x height) = 4 x area_of_parallelogram Thus, if the base and height of a parallelogram are [both] doubled, the area is quadrupled.

If the base and height of a triangle are doubled how is its area changed?

The area is multiplied by 4, not doubled.


If the base is doubled and the height is halved then how will the new area compare to the old area of a rectangle?

It will be the same.


What happens to the volume of a cylinder if the height is doubled and the diameter of the base is not changed?

since the volume of a right cylinder is height x area of base, the area of the baseis Pi * r^2 (r is radius which is 1/2 of diameter), so the area of the base did notchange, while the height is doubled so the volume is doubled.


What happens to the area of a parallelogram when you double the height and the base?

How does the volume of a cylinder change if the radius is doubled?

It is quadrupled. volume_cylinder = π x radius2 x height If radius → 2 x radius then: new_volume = π x (2 x radius)2 x height = π x 22 x radius2 x height = 4 x π x radius2 x height = 4 x original_volume
