A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. Prism are called after the name of their base. A rectangular prism is a solid whose base is a rectangle. Multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:
FOR THE ORIGINAL PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:
In fact, the volume is because:
Now the height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism, therefore:
FOR THE NEW PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:
So the new volume is:
<em>Well, the volume has increased from </em> <em>and since</em>
<em>we can say that the new volume is two times the original volume.</em>
