o sry well it seems that the lengths width and height of the new box is 3 times the height of the old box
so say the first boxhad length l width w and h
well the new box would have length 3l heigh 3h and width 3w
so it would b:
(3l)(3w)(3h)=9lwh. so the new box has 9 times the value of volume of the old box
