Side = 3 units, volume = 27 cu units, side = 6 units, volume = 216 cu units. The side is increased by a factor of 2 and the volume is increased by a factor of 8, ie 23 If the side were increased by a factor of 3, we would thus expect the volume to increase by a factor of 33 ie 27, so: side 9 units, volume 729 cu units which is indeed 27 x 27. To summarise: the volume increases by the cube of the factor by which the side increases.
The volume of a cube is proportional to the cube of its edge.If the edge is doubled, the volume increases by a factor of (2)3 = 8
Try it out. The volume of a 2-inch cube is 8 cubic inches. The volume of a 4-inch cube is 64 cubic inches. The dimensions doubled, the volume increased 8 times because volume is a cubic measure. 2 cubed is 8.
Volume is proportional to the cube (3rd power) of the linear dimensions.If the side of the cube is tripled, the volume increasesby a factor of (3)3 = 27 .
Sample A: cube of side 2, volume 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 Sample B: cube of side 10, volume 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 Volume has increased by a factor of 125 ie 53 which is what we would expect.
It is doubled.

The volume is increased 8 times

The volume will increase by a factor of 8. A cube that is 2 inches on all sides has a volume of 8 cubic inches. Double it to 4 inches and the volume increases to 64 cubic inches. Double it again and the volume increases to 512 cubic inches. Each time the volume has increased by a factor of 8. It is no coincidence that double is the same as 2 times and that 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

The volume is increased by eight times !
The volume is proportional to the cube of the diameter, but the area, only to the square of the diameter. For example, if you double the diameter, the area will increase by a factor of 4, and the volume, by a factor of 8. Thus, the area/volume ratio will worsen, by a factor of 2.The volume is proportional to the cube of the diameter, but the area, only to the square of the diameter.
