Scale factors

If the length and breadth of a rectangle is multiplied by a scale factor of k units then the area of the
rectangle will have been multiplied by 𝑘 2 and the volume by 𝑘 3 .

Example:
Calculate the surface area and volume of the rectangular prism if the length, breadth and height are
multiplied by a scale factor of 5 units.

Solution:

Surface area =
