represent the measure of one edge of a cube. The volume is then

and the surface area is

. If you triple the measure of the edges, then each edge would measure

, so the volume would be

which is 27 times larger than the original cube. The surface area of the larger cube would be

which is 9 times larger than the original cube.\r
