An architect is designing a house. She wants the bedroom to have the dimensions of 10 ft by 6 ft by 7 ft. The architect doubles one dimension to create the den. Does that mean the den will have double the volume of the bedroom? First, find the volume of the bedroom. Solve on paper. Then check your work on. how much ft will the bedroom be please help

Answer 1

no

initial volume = 420

new volume 3360

3360/420 = 8

Explanation:

volume = length x width x height

initial volume = 10 x 6 x 7 = 420

New dimensions = (10 x 2) x (2 x 6) x(2x 7)

new volume = 20 x 12 x 14 = 3360

3360/420 = 8
