There are two methods, you can decide which is easier for you to follow.

1. Calculate the value for surface area (4π(r^2)) or volume ((4/3)π(r^3)) depending on the problem you're working on, using the new value and the old values for the radius. Then, take the new radius (the triple-sized one) and subtract the previous value, and divide that number by the previous value to get the decimal. To make that into a percentage, multiply by 100.

2. Subtract the smaller radius by the larger one. Calculate the value for surface area/volume. That solution is the difference in surface area/volume due to the larger radius. Then, divide that number by the original surface area/volume (the solution of the original radius put through the equation) to get the decimal. Multiply by 100 to make a percentage.

How does the volume change if the radius is tripled?

It depends on the shape. The volume of a sphere will increase differently to the volume of a cylinder, for example.


How many times does the volume of a sphere increase if the radius is tripled?

The new volume is 3^3 = 27 times as much.


If the radius of a sphere is 10cm and you increase the radius by 5 percent then how much percent incriment is there in the volume of the sphere?

The volume of the sphere is proportional to the cube of its radius.Increasing the radius by 5% causes the volume to increase by the factor of (1.05)3= (1.05 x 1.05 x 1.05) = 1.157625= 15.7625% increase in volume.(Regardless of what the radius and volume were before the increase.)


If the radius of a sphere is tripled what is going to happen to surface area?

If the radius of a sphere is tripled, the surface area increases by (3)2 = 9 times, and the volume increases by (3)3 = 27 times.


How many times does the volume of a Sphere increases if the radius is tripled?

The volume of the larger sphere will be 27 times the original. Here's the math: Volume of sphere of radius r is (4/3) x pi x r3 Volume of sphere of radius 3r is (4/3) x pi x (3r)3 or 27r3


If the radius of a sphere is tripled how is the surface area affected?

The surface area of a sphere is directly proportional to the square of its radius. A ∝ r2 r = 3k A ∝ (3k)2 A ∝ 9k2 therefore, the surface area will become 9 times the size


How is the volume of a sphere affected if you double the radius?

The volume of a sphere is proportional to R3 .So doubling the radius causes the volume to increase by a factor of 23 = 8 .


What does the radius of a sphere join?

The radius of a sphere joins the center of the sphere to its circumference.


If a radius of a sphere increase by a factor of 4 what does the factor of the volume increase?

64The formula to find the volume of a sphere is4/3 * pi * r3where r is the radius of the sphere. So if the radius is increased by a factor of 4, then the formula becomes4/3 * pi * (4r)3 = 4/3 * pi * 64r3showing that the volume increases by a factor of 64.


What does the radius of a sphere?

The radius of a sphere is equal distance from the center of the sphere to all points within the sphere.


If the surface area of a sphere is increased by a factor of 4 what is the change in the length of the radius of the sphere?

The area of a sphere is A=4*3.14 * r^2. Thus the area varies as the square of the radius. If the surface area is increased by a factor of 4, then the radius will have to increase by the square root of 4 which is 2.
