Question

The length of each side of a cube is increased by a factor of 4. What is the effect on the volume of the cube?

Answer 1

When dealing with VOLUME, an increase in a linear quantity, produces a third power result in the volume.

Increase the sides of a cube by 2 produces an 8 times effect in the volume.

Increasing each side of a cube by 4 produces a chnage of 4 * 4 * 4 or

64 times in the volume.
