Answer:

Length of the original prism =5 in

Width of the original prism =3 in

Height of the original prism =2 in

Enlarged prism:

Tripling the dimension means multiplying each side length by 3.

New length = 3 times the length of the original prism =3×5=15 in

New width = 3 times the width of the original prism =3×2=6 in

New height= 3 times the height of the original prism =3×3=9 in

Volume of enlarged prism = New length×New width×New height= 15×6×9=810 in³

Answer: 810 in³
