A rectangular prism has dimensions /, w, and h. If the width is changed to 2w and the length is changed to 21.
how does the volume change?
a. The volume is 4 times larger.
b.The volume is 3 times larger.
c. The volume is the same. d. The volume is doubled
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
If the width is changed to 2w, the new volume would be V' = (21)(2w)(h) = 42wh.
Comparing the new volume V' with the original volume V, we can see that V' is twice the original volume V.
Therefore, the volume is doubled (option d).
