Question

If the height of a rectangular prism is doubled, what effect does that have on the volume?

Answer 1

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
