Question

The cube has a surface area of 24 cm2.

What would the surface area of the prism be if each dimension were quadrupled?

Base:2
Width:2
Height:2

Answer 1

so what have you done so far?

Answer 2

Multiplied 2x2x2

Answer 3

But that wont work.

Answer 4

well if those are the dimensions of the cube (the twos) then you quadruple them meaning you multiply each one of them by 4

Answer 5

and then find the surface area of that

Answer 6

ok, so what does the word quadrupled mean?

Answer 7

So I would do 8x8x8?

Answer 8

ah ah, yes, multiply by four, sorry missed that. ok, so do that first

Answer 9

no, we want the surface area

Answer 10

that would be the volume

Answer 11

then you do 8*8*6

Answer 12

so a picture helps here
