Question: What is Volume Scale Factor ?

Answer:

When the linear dimensions of a three-dimensional shape are all changed by a scale factor k (i.e multiplied by k ), its volume is changed by a scale factor of k3 (i.e multiplied by k3).

For example,
the effect of doubling or trebling the edges of a cube is to increase its volume by factors 23 = 8 or 33 = 27.
