What is the effect that doubling the side length on a cube has on its surface area?

The new cube will become 4 times larger.

Step-by-step explanation: To determine what happens to the surface area of a cube if we double the length of a side, let's start by choosing a length for the side of our cube.

For example, let's say our cube has a side length of 2. Next, to find its surface area we simply add the areas of the faces of the cube. Since each face of the cube is a square with a side length of 2, the area of each face is 2 multiplied by 2 which is 4. Since there are 6 square faces in a cube, we multiply 6 by 4 to get 24 which represents the surface area of the cube.

Now, let's double the length of a side so each side will have a side length of 4. Since each face of the cube is a square with a side length of 4, the area of each face is 4 multiplied by 4 which is 16. Since there are 6 square faces in a cube, we multiply 6 by 16 to get 96 which represents the surface area of our new cube.

Finally, notice that our new cub has a surface area that is 4 times the surface area of the old cube.

Therefore, if we double the length of a side, we can see that the surface area becomes 4 times larger.

I'll attach an image to show the cubes and the surface area.

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
