What is the increase in the volume of a cube of 1 unit edge if each of its edges is tripled?
the length of each edge of the cube initially = 1
Volume of the cube initially = $$(length\ of\ edge)^3$$
=Â $$1^3$$
= 1Â cu units
if each of its edges is tripled.
length of each edge of the cube after the change in the edge = $$3\times1$$
= 3 units
The volume of the cube after the change in the edge = $$3^3$$
= 27Â cu units
So change in the volume of cube = 27-1
= 26Â cu units
So the increase in the volume of a cube is 26 cu units.
