Question

Simon offered a customer a cubic box with 3-inch sides. The customer told Simon to increase each side of the box by an inch

Answer 1

Answer:

64 $in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cubic box with side length of s inches can be calculated using the following formula

$V = s^{3} in^{3}$

If the initial side length was 3 inches and the customer asked Simon to increase each one of the sides of the box by one inch, then the new side lengths now become 4 in (3+1 = 4)

$V = 4^{3} in^{3} = 64 in^{3}$

Therefore the final and new volume is

64 $in^{3}$
