Answer:

(1) 16 x 14 x 10 Room: 2240 ft^3.

(2) How much greater the 18 x 16 x 10 Room is: 640 ft^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a given space, all we need to do is multiply length*width*height. In this case, the values are 16*14*10, which equals 2240 ft^3.

The changed design would have a volume of 18*16*10, which would equal 2880 ft^3.

To find the difference in volume between the two rooms, all we have to do is subtract the smaller room from the bigger room. 2880 - 2240 = 640 ft^3.
