Answer key to dimensional change questions II: 

1a. There is a regular cylinder, which has a height equal to its radius. If the radius and height are both increased by 20%, by what % does the total volume of the cylinder increase?

72.8%

1b. If the radius and height are both decreased by 20%, by what % does the total volume of the cylinder decrease?

48.8% (Only 0.8³ = 0.512 = 51.2% of the original percentage left and 100% - 51.2% = 48.8%.)

2. If the side of a cube is increased by 30%, by what % does the total surface area of the cube increase? By what % does the volume increase?

The surface area will increase 69% and the volume will increase 119.7%

3a. If the volume of a cube increases by 174.4%, by what % does the total surface area of the cube increase?

96%

How to Find Equation of a Circle Passing 3 Given Points 

7 methods included ; Amazing !!

Practice finding the equation of a Circle given 3 points -- 

Q #1 : (1, 3), (7, 3) and (1, -3)

Answer : (x -4)² + y² = 18

Q #2  : (3, 4), (3, -4), (0, 5)

Answer : x² + y² = 25

Q #3 : A (1, 1), B (2, 4), C (5, 3)

Answer : (x-3)² + (y -2)² = 5

Solution : 

The midpoint of line AB on the Cartesian plane is \((\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2})\) and the slope is \((\frac{3}{1})\) so the slope of the perpendicular bisector of line AB is \((\frac{-1}{3})\).

The equation of the line bisect line AB and perpendicular to line AB is thus :  

y - \((\frac{5}{2}\)) =\(\frac{-1}{3}\) [x - \((\frac{3}{2})\)] --- equation 1

The midpoint of line BC on the Cartesian plane is \((\frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2})\) and the slope is \((\frac{-1}{3})\) so the slope of the perpendicular bisector of line BC is 3.

And the equation of the line bisect line BC and perpendicular to line BC is 

y - \((\frac{7}{2})\) = 3 [x - \((\frac{7}{2})\)] --- equation 2

Solve the two equations for x and y and you have the center of the circle being (3, 2)

Use distance formula from the center circle to any point to get the radius = 

\(\sqrt{5}\).

The answer is : (x - 3)² + (x - 2)² = 5
