Arectangular prism had a volume of 252 cubic centimeters. the length of the prism is 14 centimeters and the width of the prism is 6 centimeters. the height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism. the other dimensions stayed the same. what do you know about the volume of the new prism

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. Prism are called after the name of their base. A rectangular prism is a solid whose base is a rectangle. Multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

FOR THE ORIGINAL PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

In fact, the volume is because:

Now the height of the prism was changed from 3 centimeters to 6 centimeters to create a new rectangular prism, therefore:

FOR THE NEW PRISM WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS:

So the new volume is:

Well, the volume has increased from and since we can say that the new volume is two times the original volume.
