#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
1A circle has an area of 24. If the radius is increased by a factor of 3, what is the new area of the circle?
New Area =
Solution
New area = Original area × (Increase factor) (Number of dimensions increased)
New area = 24 × (3) 2 since circle areas = πr2 which is dependent on a square term
New Area = 216
#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
2A square has an area of 29. If the side length is increased by a factor of 2, what is the new area of the square?
New Area =
Solution
New area = Original area × (Increase factor) (Number of dimensions increased)
New area = 29 × (2) 2 since square area = s2 which is dependent on a square term
New Area = 116

Complexity=8, Mode=volume

Find the volume of the following shapes after the transformations have been made.

#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
1A sphere has a volume of 18. If the radius is increased by a factor of 4, what is the new volume of the sphere?
New Volume =
Solution
New volume = Original volume × (Increase factor)(Number of dimensions increased)
New volume = 18 × (4)3 since sphere volume = (4/3)πr3 and the radius was what was changed.
New volume = 1152
#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
2A sphere has a volume of 30. If the radius is increased by a factor of 4, what is the new volume of the sphere?
New Volume =
Solution
New volume = Original volume × (Increase factor)(Number of dimensions increased)
New volume = 30 × (4)3 since sphere volume = (4/3)πr3 and the radius was what was changed.
New volume = 1920

Complexity=8

Find the area, volume, or increase factor of the following shapes after the transformations have been made.

#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
1A rectangle has an area of 15. If the base is increased by a factor of 3, what is the new area of the rectangle?
New Area =
Solution
New area = Original area × (Increase factor) (Number of dimensions increased)
New area = 15 × (3) 1 since rectangle area = bh and we are changing the base length
New Area = 45
#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
2A triangle has an area of 8. If the height is increased by a factor of 3, what is the new area of the triangle?
New Area =
Solution
New area = Original area × (Increase factor) (Number of dimensions increased)
New area = 8 × (3) 1 since triangle area = bh/2 and we are changing the height length
New Area = 24
