Question 54047
You didn't say what you  were taking the volume of, however in regular shapes like cubes and cylindars V=(Area of the Base)(height)
In a cube the base is a square and its area is {{{A=s^2}}}.
Therefore the volume of the cube is {{{V=s^2h}}}
If you double s {{{v=(2s)^2h}}}==>{{{V=4s^2h}}}
The volume is quadrupled.
For a cylindar {{{V=pi(r)^2h}}}
Double the sides and {{{V=pi(2r)^2h}}}==>{{{V=4(pi)r^2h}}}
Again the Volume is quadrupled.
Hope that helps!
Happy Calculating!!!
