Question 591211: what does it mean to increase one dimension of a rectangular prism by a factor of x?

It means that you should multiply that dimension by x.
For example, if the height (h) of the rectangular prism is given as 10 inches, then increasing the height by a factor of x means that the height becomes 10x inches.
