Question 213430
A box measures 1 metre X 1 metre X 1 metre. What would a box need to measure to hold twice the volume of this box?


Volume of the box is V=s^3 where s is the edge of the box and they are equal in this case.


Given V=2 means that


{{{V=2=s^3}}}


{{{s=2^(1/3)=1.26}}}


Therefore, to get twice the volume the dimensions of the box would be 1.26 metre x 1.26 metre x 1.26 metre



I hope the above steps were helpful. 

 
And good luck in your studies!
