Answer:
The new prism will have a length of 5 because 3 + 2 = 5.
The new prism will have a depth of 4 because 2 + 2 = 4.
Explanation:
The original prism has:
length of 3
depth of 2
height of 1
In this case, we can the volume of the prism with the formula: length × depth × height
3 × 2 × 1 = 6 in³
As seen in the question above, Srekar had to increase 2 inches on each side of the prism. In this case, we need to add this value in length, depth and height and then calculate the volume of the prism with the new values. This will happen as follows:
New length = 3 + 2 = 5 inches
New depth = 2 + 2 = 4 inches
New height = 1 + 2 = 3 inches
New volume = (5 × 4 × 3) = 60 in³
