How do you calculate enlargement of a cube?

Answer 1

To calculate the enlargement of a cube, you first determine the scale factor by which the cube's dimensions are increased. If the original side length is ( s ) and the new side length after enlargement is ( s' ), the scale factor ( k ) is given by ( k = \frac{s'}{s} ). The volume of the original cube is ( V = s^3 ), and the volume of the enlarged cube is ( V' = (s')^3 ), which can also be expressed as ( V' = k^3 \times V ). Thus, the volume increase can be determined by cubing the scale factor.
