Question

Belinda builds a rectangular prism that is 2 cubes​ long, 3 cubes​ wide, and 2 cubes tall. Each dimension of​ April's rectangular prism is twice as many cubes as​ Belinda's prism. What is the volume of​ April's prism? Use an equation to show your work.

Answer 1

96 cubes vol.

Explanation:

the volume of Belinda's prism =

2×3×2 = 12 cubes vol.

Each dimension of April's rectangular prism is twice as many cubes as Belinda's prism.

the volume of April's prism =

(2×2)×(2×3)×(2×2)= 4×6×4= 96 cubes vol.

so,

the volume of April's prism = (2)³ times the volume of Belinda's prism
