Question

What is the change in volume of a rectangular prism if you double the area of one of the

faces?
a. The volume would double.
b. The volume would quadruple.
c. The volume would be multiplied by 8.
d. The volume would be multiplied by 16.

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

Volume = l*b*h = (l*b)*h =Area of base * h

If we double the area of one face

then,New Volume = (2*area of base)*h

=2*(l*b)*h = 2lbh =2 * (volume)
