The volume of the box, which determines how much ​ (a)   it can hold. The original box holds ​ (b)   of sugar. With ​ (c)   dimensions, the new box will hold ​ ​ (d)     cups of sugar. This demonstrates how changes in dimensions affect both surface area and ​ (e)   , with volume increasing more significantly.
