Question

The surface area of a rectangular prism is increased by a factor of 16. By what factor is the volume of the figure instead?

Answer 1

Answer: I think it’s 64 for edge. I’m not sure.

Step-by-step explanation: I saw it in quizlet.

Answer 2

Answer: 256 I believe

Explanation:

Volume is 3 dimensional, surface area is 2 dimensional. The surface area has increased by 16, so the 2 dimensional increase is 16. But the 3 dimensional in crease is 16 x 16 = 256.
