The length would be 2, the width would be 2, and the height would be 2. The formula for volume is length x width x height. So, you would multiply 2 x 2 x 2. The answer would be 8 micrometers cubed.

Answer:

8 micrometer

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an edge of the cube is 1 micrometer, if double is increased the length is 2 micrometers. using the formula volume of a cube is equal to the length of its edge raised to the cube: V = a³

V = 2x2x2

V = 8
