Answer:

The new volume is two times the original volume

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism


V=BH

where

B is the area of the base

H is the height of the prism

If the height of a rectangular prism is doubled,

then

The new volume is equal to


V=B(2H)


V=2BH

therefore

The new volume is two times the original volume
