Answer:

The volume will be multiplied by 8.

Explanation:

If the sides are doubled, what is going to happen to the volume? First, let's find out what the initial volume is first!

The side lengths are 2 meters. With squares/cubes, all sides are equal.

So, the length, height, and width are the same.

For the volume, we need to multiply those values.

2*2*2=8 meters

That's the initial volume.

Now, let's find out what the volume will be once we've double the side values.

2*2=4

The side values are now four.

Let's multiply!

4*4*4=64 meters

It looks like the volume multipled by eight fold.
