If each edge of a cube is doubled,(i) how many times will its surface area increase?(ii) how many times will its volume increase? |
|
Answer» (i) Let initially the edge of the cube be l. Initial surface area = 6l2 If each edge of the cube is doubled, then it becomes 2l. New surface area = 6(2l)2 = 24l2 = 4 × 6l2 Clearly, the surface area will be increased by 4 times. (ii) Initial volume of the cube = l3 When each edge of the cube is doubled, it becomes 2l. New volume = (2l)3 = 8l3 = 8 × l3 Clearly, the volume of the cube will be increased by 8 times. |
