    If we let

    l = length

    w = width

    h = height

    The volume of the prism

    V = k lwh

    where k is the proportionality constant

    If we increase the dimensions by three, the new volume will be

    9V

    Since material is the same, the mass of the larger prism will be 9 times greater than the smaller one.
