A. 160π160π

B. 80π80π

C. 40π40π

D. 20π20π

E. 10π10π

original area : 3.14*r^2*h: 80*3.14
We can deduce
=> r^2*h: 80-----(1)

Area to be found: 3.14*(r/2)^2*2h -----(2)

substitute value from (1) in (2)
=> 3.14*(80*2)/4
=> answer 40 *3.14 option C

A. $$160\pi$$

B. $$80\pi$$

C. $$40\pi$$

D. $$20\pi$$

E. $$10\pi$$

Given, $$r^'$$=$$\frac{r}{2}$$ and $$h^'=2h$$
Volume of altered cylinder= $$\pi*r^'^2*h^'$$=$$\pi*(\frac{r}{2})^2*2h$$=$$\frac{1}{2}*\pi*r^2*h)$$=$$\frac{1}{2}*80\pi$$= $$40\pi$$

Ans. (C)

We can let r = the original radius and h = the original height of the cylinder. So we have:

πr^2h = 80π

r^2h = 80

Now, we can make up a convenient number for r and calculate h. For example, we can let r = 4, so we have:

4^2h = 80

16h = 80

h = 5

Now, let’s halve the radius and double the height, so the new radius is 2 and the new height is 10. Therefore, the new volume is:

π x 2^2 x 10 = 40π
