A cube with edges that measure 10 centimeters has a volume that is twice as much as a cube with sides that measure 5 centimeters. Is this true or false?

Respuesta :

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the volumes of the two cubes and compare them.

volume of cube = side^3

The volume of the 10-cm cube is:

V = (10 cm)^3 = 1000 cm^3

The volume of the 5-cm cube is:

V = (5 cm)^3 = 125 cm^3

1000/125 = 8

The volume of the 10-cm cube is 8 times the volume of the 5-cm cube.

The statement is false.
