I just need my answers checked.. a. 150 times bigger
b.125 times bigger. Thanks!

surface area get multiplied by 5x5 times while volume gets multiplied by 5x5x5 times

anonymous · Answer

A. surface area of rectangular prism is 6xL^2, if it's 5L then 6x(5L)^2= 150 times bigger

B. volume= L^3, if 5L then (5L)^3= 125 times bigger. you're correct
