A cube has a volume of 8 cubic meters, If each side is doubled in length what will its new volume be in cubic meters?

A cube has a volume of 8 cubic meters, If each side is doubled in length what will its new volume be in cubic meters?

Explanation

If each side of the cube is doubled in length, the new side length will be twice the original side length. Since the volume of a cube is proportional to the cube of the side length, the new volume will be:

New volume = (2 × original side length)^3

Since the original volume is 8 cubic meters, we can find the original side length by taking the cube root of 8:

Original side length = ∛8 = 2 meters

Now, we can find the new volume:

New volume = (2 × 2)^3 = (4)^3 = 64 cubic meters

So, the correct answer is: 64
