It's the same for all 3D shapes calculated by a 1D measure. The volume would
multiply by 143, which is 2744.

Regarding your wording in this problem, let me point you, that a sphere has no so many "dimensions".


To be more concrete, it has only one dimension - its radius.


The other dimension - the diameter - is the derived dimension.


So it is nonsense to speak about the "sphere dimensions".
