only one edge of a rectangluar prism is increased by a factor of two. if the volume of the original prism is 40 cm cubed what is volume of the new prism

1 answer

Poorly worded question.
It would not be possible to double one of the "edges" only without affecting the others.
Did you mean, "one of the dimensions of a rectangluar prism is increased by a factor of two" ?

then in the original:
lwh = 40
then (2l)wh = 2 wlw = 80
