# What Will Happen to the Volume of a Cuboid If Its Length is Doubled, Height is Doubled and Breadth is Sama? - Mathematics

What will happen to the volume of a cuboid if its Length is doubled, height is doubled and breadth is sama?

#### Solution

$\text { Suppose that the length, breadth and height of the cuboid are l, b and h, respectively } .$

$\text { Then, volume }= l \times b \times h$

$\text { When its length is doubled, its length becomes 2 }\times l .$

$\text { When its height is double, it becomes 2 } \times h .$

$\text { The breadth b remains the same } .$

$\text { Now, volume of the new cuboid = length } \times \text { breadth }\times \text { height }$

$= 2 \times l \times b \times 2 \times h$

$= 4 \times l \times b \times h$

$\therefore\text { It can be observed that the volume of the new cuboid is four times the initial volume }.$

Is there an error in this question or solution?
