A prism has a volume of 58 in^3. If the length is tripled, what is the volume?

58^3 would be the new volume

The volume of a prism is generally given by the area of the base times the length. V=AL. If the length is tripled, what would it do to the volume?

Yes, your answer is correct. I thought you were saying that the volume would increase by the cube. Yes, it triples.
