Question

What happens to the volume of a cube if each dimension is tripled?

Answer 1

BxHxL=V

3Bx3Hx3L=3V

Answer 2

so it would be 3 times larger?

Answer 3

Right!

Answer 4

ok. Thanks!

Answer 5

I don't believe thats accurate. Imagine two cubes. One of them has dimensions L, W, and H. It's volume is LWH. Now, lets take a second cube, it has triple all the dimensions. Now, the volume is (3L)(3W)(3H) = 9LWH. So tripling all the dimensions will multiply the volume by 9.

Answer 6

right

Answer 7

I realize this question is closed, but I realized that I gave you an incorrect answer. (3L)(3W)(3H) is equal to 27LWH and not 9LWH. It appears I corrected someone's mistake with my own mistake.
