Not sure if i got this right?

The effect it will have on the volume is;

The volume will be 8 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the given prism are;

The length of the prism, l = 5 in.

The breadth of the prism, b = 5 in.

The slant height of the prism,  = 4 in. by 5 in.

The height of the prism, h = 7 in.

The shape of the prism = Parallelepiped

The volume of a parallelepiped = Area of Base × Height of the prism

The base area of the parallelepiped = The length × Breadth of the parallelepiped

∴ The base area of the given parallelepiped = 5 in. × 5 in. = 25 in.²

The volume of the given parallelepiped, V₁ is found as follows;

V₁ = 5 in. × 5 in. × 7 in. = 25 in.² × 7 in. = 175 in.³

When a scale factor of 2 in applied to the dimensions of the prism, we have;

The new volume, V₂ =  2 × 5 in. × 2 × 5 in. × 2 × 7 in.

∴ V₂ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 in. × 5 in. × 7 in. = 8 × 5 in. × 5 in. × 7 in. = 8 × V₁

Therefore;

V₂ = 8 × V₁

The volume of the image of the object, V₂ after applying a scale factor of 2 is 8 times larger than the volume of the object, V₁.

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
