Question:
If the length of each edge of a cube is tripled, what will be the change in its volume?
Solution:
Let the edge of a cube be a.
If edge of the cube became tripled i.e. a = 3 x a = 3a
... Volume of the cube = a3
... Volume of the cube with edge tripled = (3a)3 = 27 a3
Hence, volume is 27 times of the original volume.
