Answer:
First way: change in the 4 in dimension to 8 in
Second way: change in the 5 in dimension to 10 in
Third way: change in the 6 in dimension to 12 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying all the 3 dimensions:
Volume = 4 * 5 * 6 = 120 in3
To make a prism of 240 inches changing 1 dimension, Cole can choose any of the three dimensions to change.
First way: change in the 4 inches dimension:
Volume = x * 5 * 6 = 240
x = 8 inches
Second way: change in the 5 inches dimension:
Volume = 4 * x * 6 = 240
x = 10 inches
Third way: change in the 6 inches dimension:
Volume = 4 * 5 * x = 240
x = 12 inches
