Each dimension of a rectangular prism is increased by 80%. What percent of the original volume is the volume of the new prism?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

new length given by L+0.8L and so forth for W and D so new volume =(L+0.8L)(W+0.8W)(D+0.8D)

thank you so much so the answer would be 5.832

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

I think so, I didn't actually have time to calculate it out.

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

yes. that is what I got

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

though I think it should be translated to a percentage.....I think it means 583.2 %

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

The volume of the new prism is over 500% bigger than the original prism
