Question

I need help badly... consider the rectangular prism with a length 3 cm, width 6 cm, and height 10 cm. If one of the dimensions is tripled what will happen to the volume? Justify your response.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume becomes 3 times of original volume .

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangular prism = 3 cm

Width of rectangular prism = 6 cm

Height of rectangular prism = 10 cm

Volume of rectangular prism = $Length \times Breadth \times Height$

                                                 = $3 \times 6 \times 10$

                                                 = $180 cm^3$

Now  one of the dimensions is tripled i.e. one of the dimensions becomes 3 times

So, Volume of rectangular prism = $3 \times 3 \times 6 \times 10$

                                                 = $3(180)$

                                                 = $540 cm^3$

Hence one of the dimensions is tripled Volume becomes 3 times of original volume .

Answer 2

Tripled
original volume 3*6*10=180
when one is tripled 3(3) * 6*10 = 3*3*6*10=180*3
it doesnt matter which is tripled
