Question 742956: The volume of a rectangular prism is 45 cubic feet. A larger rectangular prism has a side lengths that measure 3 times the side lengths of the original prism. What is the volume of the larger prism?

Generally speaking when you increase the side length of any solid x times, the volume increases by x^3.
So here you increase the side lengths 3 times, so you'd expect the volume to increase by 3^3 = 27 times.
So the volume should be 45 x 27 = 1215 cu ft.
