Question

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

Answer 1

Let's say the dimensions were L, W, and H so the volume was LWH.
Then the dimensions changed to 3L, 3W and 3H. So the new volume is 3L(3W)(3H) or 27 LWH. So how does the new volume compare with the old volume?

Answer 2

would the answer be 174?
