--------------
1st suitcase: lwh = 1568

2nd suitcase:(2l)(wh) 2(1568) = 3136 cu in

if the two solids are similar all measurements are proportional.
so if the length is double so is the width and height
2^3=8 so the volume is 8 times the first not just double.
2*L*2W*2H=8*L*W*H
8*1568=volume of second sutcase
