Live Step-by-Step Calculation

# Given Values:
Original Pan Shape: round
Original Size: 8
New Pan Shape: round
New Size: 10
# Formula:
Ingredient Scaling Factor = ((new_shape == 'round' ? 3.14159 * (new_size/2)^2 : new_size^2) / (orig_shape == 'round' ? 3.14159 * (orig_size/2)^2 : orig_size^2))
# Substitution:
Ingredient Scaling Factor = ((round == 'round' ? 3.14159 * (10/2)^2 : 10^2) / (round == 'round' ? 3.14159 * (8/2)^2 : 8^2))
Final Answer: 1.56 x

How it works

Scale Factor=AreanewAreaoriginalScale\ Factor = \frac{Area_{new}}{Area_{original}}

Biological Formula Standard

The volume of a cake pan determines how much batter it can hold. Assuming the depth is the same, the ratio of the areas of the pans gives the factor by which you need to multiply the ingredients.
