27
Explanation:
The simplest way to think about this is with cubes.
Think of a cube with side 1 (foot, mile, centimeter, kilometer, the unit doesn't matter). Volume is calculated by multiplying length times width times height.
or, in particular for a cube"
All the sides of a cube are equal, so with each measurement equaling 1 the resulting volume is 1.
Now if we increase each of the sides to three the equation suddenly becomes:
This will be true for any three dimensional object. If you triple the dimensions you will get 27 times the original volume.
