Answer: False
==========================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's consider a prism that has dimensions of
- L = 3 ft
- W = 4 ft
- H = 5 ft
and we'll say that the base is a rectangle with length L and width W. The area of the base is L*W = 3*4 = 12 sq ft. The volume of this prism is L*W*H = 3*4*5 = 60 ft^3
If we double the area of the base, then we go from 12 ft^2 to 24 ft^2. If we double the height, then we go from 5 ft to 10 ft.
The new volume of this larger prism is (area of base)*(height) = (24)*(10) = 240 ft^3
The jump from 60 ft^3 to 240 ft^3 is not "times 2". Instead, the multiplier is 240/60 = 4. This example shows that the volume has been quadrupled.
