a cube with a volume of 64 cubic meters is scaled by a factor of five. What is the volume of the modified cube in cubic meters?
The volume increases by the cube of the scale factor.....therefore, the new volume is
64 * (5)^3 = 8000 m^3
This makes sense....each dimension before = 4m and [4m ]^3 = 64 m^3
Each dimension now is 5 times as much = 20m and [20m]^3 = 8000 m^3
Wow! Amazing! :D
Thanks, Rarinstraw......!!!! [ It really wasn't that difficult.....]
