A cube has an edge length of 9 centimeters. If the side length is increased by a factor of 3, how much larger is the perimeter of a face of the new cube?

Respuesta :

108 cm after - 36 cm before = 3 times as big.

Answer:

The perimeter of a face of the new cube is:

108 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Original edge length of cube=9 cm

Increased edge length of the cube=9×3 cm

                                                       =27 cm

The perimeter of a face of a cube=4s

where s is the edge length of the cube

Perimeter of a face of new cube=4×27 cm

                                                    = 108 cm

Hence, the perimeter of a face of the new cube is:

108 cm
