All of the dimensions of the solid are multiplied by a factor of k=10 how many times greater is the surface area of the new solid? How many times greater is the volume of the new solid?

Explanation:

The surface area increases by 100

if x y and z are side lengths and it is a rectangle.

Then finding the surface area would normally be 2xy+2yz+2xz

But then increasing each side length by a factor of 10 means multiplying it together

2x(10)y(10)+2y(10)z(10)+2x(10)z(10)

200xy+200yz+200xz and that is 100 times greater than the normal surface area.

Volume:

(x)(y)(z)=normal volume

x(10)y(10)z(10)=increased value

1000xyz=new volume

that is 1000 times greater than the previous volume

Hope that helps :)
