A box measures 1 metre X 1 metre X 1 metre. What would a box need to measure to hold twice the volume of this box?

Volume of the box is V=s^3 where s is the edge of the box and they are equal in this case.

Given V=2 means that

Therefore, to get twice the volume the dimensions of the box would be 1.26 metre x 1.26 metre x 1.26 metre

I hope the above steps were helpful.

And good luck in your studies!
