Question

3-inch sides. The customer told Simon to increase each side of the box by an inch. Write the volume of the new box and explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 64 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sides are 3 inches long, each, and we know that this is a box, this must be a cube. Being told to increase the side-lengths by 1 inch on every axis, we know have the side-length s = 4 in.

The volume of a cube can be determined by the equation:

$V = s^3$

$V = 4^3$    (Simplify)

V = 64 in.²

Answer 2

Answer:

64 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

4x4x4= 64

You do this because there are 4 sides to a square, each side is 4 inches, and since it is a box you multiply it by 4 again.
