Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 714 inches, a width of 612 inches, and a height of 10 inches.

Raj has another prism that has dimensions that are each double the dimensions of the first rectangular prism.

How many times greater is the volume of the larger prism than the volume of the smaller one?

Answer 1

• 8 times

Explanation:

The volume of the prism:

• V = lwh

If each of the dimensions is doubled, then the volume becomes:

• V₁ = 2l*2w*2h = 8lwh = 8V

The larger prism has 8 times greater volume
