Question

What happens to the volume of a cube if the length of one side triples?

The volume increases by one-ninth.

The volume triples.

The volume increases by 9 times.

The volume increases by times.

Answer 1

Let \(x\) be the side length of a cube. The volume would be \(x^3\).

Triple the length of \(x\), so that the side length is \(3x\), then the volume is \((3x)^3=27x^3\).

What's the relationship between \(x^3\) and \(27x^3\)?
