Question

A prism has total surface area of 360m^2 and volume of 60m^2. If the length, width and height are triple their original sizes what will be the new volume?(with steps)

A. 360m^3
B. 540m^3
C. 1,620m^3
D. 180m^3​

Answer 1

C. 1,620 m³

Explanation:

always remember, for a volume we need to (one way or another) multiply measurements of 3 dimensions with each other.

so, if each of the 3 dimension measurements triples, then that factor 3 is used in the multiplication 3 times.

and the volume is multiplied by 3×3×3 = 27.

and 60 m³ × 27 = 1,620 m³
