Question

If a rectangular solid has a volume of 32 and then each dimension is doubled, what happens to the volume? A. The volume is multiplied by 3.B. The volume is multiplied by 8.C. The volume is multiplied by 6.D. The volume is doubled.

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply its 3 dimensions: length x width x height

V1=LWH= 32

`\begin{gathered} V2=2L\cdot2W.2H \\ V2=8(\text{LWH)} \end{gathered}`

Ex

2*4*4=32

Let's multiply all dimension by 2

4 * 8 * 8 =256

Answer:B. The volume is multiplied by 8.
