gh as it is wide? A. Yes. For every block of width, he could build two blocks high. B. Yes. He could use half as many blocks for the height as the width. C. There is no way to determine if he can do this. D. No, it is not possible to do this.

I would choose B because that is what I myself would do.

Roger is constructing a storage shed using wooden blocks shaped as cubic prisms.

A cube is essentially a box formed by squares, with all dimensions (length, width, and height) being identical.

We must figure out if he can create a shed that is twice as tall as it is wide.

This implies that if the width measures 1, the height should be 2.

Yes, this is achievable by stacking one cubic prism atop another, resulting in a shed height twice the width.

Therefore, the correct answer is "A. Yes. For every block of width, he could build two blocks high."
