Question

Simplify the monomial (final answers should contain
positive exponents only.):
The side length of a cube can be represented by the
expression 2x. If the side length is doubled, write an
expression to represent the new volume of the cube.
[Hint: V=lwh, all sides are equal in a cube]

Answer 1

Answer:  64x^3

==========================================

Work Shown:

old side length = 2x

new side length = 2*(old side length) = 2*2x = 4x

For any cube, the length, width and height are all the same. So L = W = H.

volume = L*W*H

volume = L*L*L

volume = L^3

volume = (4x)^3

volume = 4^3*x^3

volume = 64x^3
