Two suitcases are similar rectangular solids.
\n" ); document.write( " The length of the second suitcase is twice the length of the first.
\n" ); document.write( " The first suitcase has a volume of 1568 cubic inches.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the volume of the second suitcase in cubic inches?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Since the suitcases are similar, we can assume the width and height of the second suitcase, is also twice the first;
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "First suitcase
\n" ); document.write( "L * W * H= 1568
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2nd suitcase
\n" ); document.write( "2L * 2W * 2H = 8*L*W*H
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Replace L*W*H with 1568
\n" ); document.write( "8(1568) = 12544 cu/in \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
