if length and width are doubled then the volume should mulitiply by 8
The volume is doubled.
Because the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length, width, and height, if these linear measures are doubled, the volume will increase by a factor of 23 = 8.
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
The formula for the surface area of a rectangular solid is = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh 2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)
A rectangular prism with a length of 11m, width of 8m and height of 3m has a volume of 264m3
It is quadrupled.
The volume is doubled.
The volume will be doubled.
well...if it's doubled then its doubled (just treat it the same)
Because the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length, width, and height, if these linear measures are doubled, the volume will increase by a factor of 23 = 8.
The change in the surface area depends on the shape. The volume will double.
The surface area of the 'wall' doubles, but the base areas remain the same.
When you change the linear size it changes the areas by the square and the volume of the cube.
If the base stays the same, the area is also doubled.
Suppose that the area of the rectangular base is: lw then if the height is: h the surface area is: lw + lh + wh I believe that formula is for the surface area of a rectangular prism...
For the same base dimensions (base area) and the same height, the rectangular prism has more surface area.
just did this on castle learning the answer is six times
