Answer:

270 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

l×w×h = 10

lwh = 10

New Volume = (3l)×(3w)×(3h)

= 27×lwh

= 27×10

= 270 units³

Alternately,

Since the sides are increased in the same ratio,

The two prisms are similar figures

For similar figures,

volume1/volume2 = (side1/side2)³

New Volume/10 = (3/1)³ = 27

New Volume = 270 units³
