volume = L*w*h
just add 4 to each dimension and then multiply those numbers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont get it
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
well whats the volume of a prism of 8 X 9X10 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
72
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
make sure you do the third multiplication
8*9=72
then multiply by 10
72*10=720
so volume is 720

now do the same thing except add 4 to each number
8+4 = 12
9+4=13
10+4=14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i still dont understand
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
what do you not understand?
volume is length *width*height
length=8+4=12
width =9+4=13
height =10+4=14
volume = 12*13*14
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
have you ever used volume before?
what class are you in?
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
ok did you figure it out?
just multiply the 3 numbers together
