What happens to the volume of certain shapes, for instance a cylinder or a sphere, as Diameter increases or decreases?
I deduced on my own that, for instance, if you reduced a diameter by 25% the radius will be halved, as 1/4 of a diameter is 1/2 of a radius, then I used some numbers and it worked out.
So by this logic the Area would decrease too, and the volume, but I wish to know if there are formulas or algebraic expressions I can use to represent these changes.
Also if 2r (radius) = D (diameter)
What would r^2 be in terms of D?
I know that D^2 4r^2
