Question 742621: Hello sir, I have a problem in this problem?????
A carpenter constructed a rectangular sandbox with a capacity of 10 cubic feet,if he had to make a similar box,twice as long,twice as wide and twice as high as the first sandbox, what would be the capacity in cubic feet of the second sandbox????
Answer by KMST(5328)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you increase by the same factor all measurements of an object (as in scaling up), the volume increases by the cube of that factor.
Doubling length, width, and depth, the volume will increase by a factor of  , so the second sandbox will have a capacity of 80 cubic feet.
