Answer:

14 ft³

Explanation:

Previous wardrobe : 7 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet long

Volume of previous wardrobe = length × width × height

= 7 ft × 3 ft × 2 ft

= 42 ft³

Volume of previous wardrobe = 42 ft³

New wardrobe: 7 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet long

Volume of new wardrobe = length × width × height

= 7 ft × 4 ft × 2 ft

= 56 ft³

Volume of new wardrobe = 56 ft³

What is the difference in volume of the two wardrobes?

Difference in volume of new wardrobe and previous wardrobe = Volume of new wardrobe - Volume of previous wardrobe

= 56 ft³ - 42 ft³

= 14 ft³

Difference in volume of new wardrobe and previous wardrobe = 14 ft³
