B.

224 cm^3








C.

336 cm^3








D.

896 cm^3

Answer 1

The width is 8cm, the height is 7cm, and the length is 2cm, if you need that information.

Answer 2

Do I square each dimension? Or do I multiply each dimension by 2?

Answer 8

It's a little tricky since the picture isn't available,
but ummm in general if you're `doubling` each side,
that means you're `multiplying each side by 2`.

We have a 3-dimensional figure, so we have three extras 2 in our volume calculation.
So the volume should increase by 8 times, (2x2x2).

Or you could just double each dimension to calculate the new volume :)\[\Large\rm 8\times7\times2=112\]\[\Large\rm 16\times14\times4=?\]

896 Thanks, @zepdrix ! :D
