Answer:

Explanation:

The area will be increased by 4 times and volume will be increased by 8 times

Area of rectangular prism = 2 (lb+bh +hl)

When sides are doubled, Area = 2 (2l * 2b +2b *2h + 2h*2l)

= 4 * 2 (lb+bh +hl)

Volume of rectangular prism = lbh

When sides are doubled, Volume = 2l * 2h * 2b = 8 lbh
