This prism has a volume of 112 cm3. What would the volume of the prism be if each dimension was doubled? (Scale factor is 2.) A. 448 cm3 B. 224 cm3 C. 896 cm3 D. 336 cm3
The new volume would be (2x2x2) times the original volume, thus 2^3 x old volume = 8x112 cm3 = 896 cm3
The scale factor 2 works in each of the 3 directions, so (2 to the power 3) overall.
