If the edge of a cube is doubled, the volume is?...
a. half as much,
b. doubled,
c. quadrupled,
d. none of these
B (i think)
it will become 8 times so answer is d.
To find the answer to this question, we need to understand the relationship between the edge length of a cube and its volume.
The volume of a cube is given by the formula V = s^3, where s represents the length of one of its edges.
If the edge length of a cube is doubled, it means the new edge length is 2s.
Substituting this value into the volume formula, we get the new volume:
V = (2s)^3
= 8s^3
Comparing the new volume (8s^3) to the original volume (s^3), we can see that the new volume is 8 times the original volume.
Therefore, when the edge length of a cube is doubled, the volume is quadrupled (c. quadrupled).
So, the correct answer is option c. quadrupled.
