Question

A rectangular prism has dimensions /, w, and h. If the width is changed to 2w and the length is changed to 0.51, how does the volume change?

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by V = lwh.
If the width is changed to 2w, the new volume becomes V = (0.51)(2w)(h) = 1.02wh.
Comparing the new volume with the original volume, the volume has increased by a factor of 1.02.
