Volume of a cube with side lengths of 2, 2, and 2.
2³=8 m³

Volume of a cube with 4,4, and 4
4³=64 m³

Conclusion: The volume would be squared, or square rooted, depending on which way you are going.

If the length of the sides are doubled, the volume of the cube is 8 times the original.

Explanation:
The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is v = lxwxh (l is length, w is width and h is height.) So first we find the volume of the cube, 2x2x2 = 8. Now, we double the sides, so they become 4 meters. Then we find volume of the new cube, 4x4x4 = 64. To find the relationship between the volume of the new cube and the volume of the original cube, we divide 64 by 8, which gives us 8. Therefore, the volume of the new cube is 8 times the volume of the original cube

Step-by-step explanation:

The technical probability of rolling any number on a standard die is 1/6 because there's six numbers. Based on that, since he rolled a "4" on 5 tosses, it seems likely that it's 30 times, because 1/6 of 30 is 5. I haven't done probability in awhile but if I remember correctly that should be right

5 000 * X ^(8) = 10 000

x^(8) = 10 000 / 5000
