Answer 3

your file cant be opened

Answer 4

Yeah RadEn is right

Answer 5

there @Xmoses1 & RadEn

Answer 6

The linear dimension doubled, so the volume will be 8 (or twice cubed) times as much.

Answer 7

Do you follow that reasoning?

Answer 8

kinda, I'm really confused

Answer 9

The volume is the result of cubing the linear dimension of a cube. wait a minute in this case it was obtained by lXwXh (length times width times height) resulting in cubic units. Now I need to know the relationship between solid 1 and solid 2. Did all dimensions double? can you print the exact wording of the problem.

ANSWERS:
2048 ft3

1024 ft3

4096 ft3

6042 ft3

Answer 11

I have assumed that the dimensions doubled all the way around in my first answer, yes, the two solids would then remain similar.

Answer 12

I did 512 * 2 = 1024 ? and

1024/2 and got 512 so is it 1024?

Answer 13

I would say that radar knows what he is doing, so i will stay out of it:)

Answer 14

I believe its "1024 ft3"

Answer 15

When you take a line and double its size, the new line is 2 times as long as the original line.
When you take a square and double the length of the side, the new area is 2^2 = 4 times the original area.
When you take a cube and you double the length of the side, the new volume is 2^3 = 8 times bigger than the original.
