Question

A cube has the following dimensions:

5 ft.
5 ft.
5 ft
Volume of Cube = SxSxS = S3
How much does the volume of the cube increase if you double the lengths of each current side?

Answer 1

875 ft.

Explanation:

First, multiply the original sides of the cube to get 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.

Then, double each side to get

10 ft.

10 ft.

10 ft.

Next, multiply the new side lengths together to get 10 x 10 x 10 =1000 ft.

Finally, subtract 125 ft. from 1000 ft. to get 1000 ft. -125 ft. = 875 ft.
