Show Worked Solution

\(\text{Volume of existing prism}\ (V)\)

\(=A\times l\)
\(=\Bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h\Bigg)\times l\)
\(=320\ \text{cm}^3\)

 

\(\text{Volume of new prism}\ (V_1)\)

\(=\Bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times 2h\Bigg)\times 3l\)
\(=6\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h\times l\)
\(=6\times V\)
\(=6\times 320\)
\(=1920 \ \text{cm}^3\)

 
\(\Rightarrow D\)
