Question

Here is the question:An architect is designing a house. He wants the bedroom to have the dimensions of 9 ft by 4 ft by 7 ft. The architect doubles one dimension to create the den. Does that mean the den will have double the volume of the bedroom?

Answer 1

The problem is incorrectly worded.

To double the dimensions of the room one doubles only the length and width.

These are not explicitly stated.

If he doubles all three the volume is 8 times the original

If he doubles only the length and width the volume is 4 times the original.
