To find by what factor volume of prism increase, if the dimension of the pyramid were doubled
Answer to Problem 1STP
C 8
Explanation of Solution
Given information: dimension of the prism
Volume of the prism =
Substituting the values in the expression
Volume=
Calculating volume
Volume=
If we double the dimensions then new dimensions will be
Therefore, new volume will be
Volume=
Calculating further
Volume=
Now, in order to find that by what factor the volume gets increased
Substituting the values
Solving it further
8
Clearly, the volume is getting increased by eight
Therefore, option C is the right answer
