Question

A rectangular box measures 6 ft by 8 ft by 2 ft. Explain whether doubling a side from 6 ft to 12 ft would double the volume of the box.

Answer 1

Yes, doubling the length will double the volume

Explanation:

Given data

Dimension of the rectangular box

Length= 6ft

Width= 8ft

Height= 2ft

The volume of the box is

V= 6*8*2

V= 96 ft^3

Double of the volume = 96*2= 192 ft^3

Check

let us us 12ft as the length to test if the new volume will be 192 ft^3

V= 12*8*2

V= 192ft^#
