The usual trap
When lengths scale by k, area scales by k² and volume by k³. Mixing those up, or using a diameter where the formula needs a radius, are the classic errors.

03Question 3
Hard
A candle maker melts a solid block of wax shaped like a rectangular prism that measures 20 centimeters by 10 centimeters by 6 centimeters.
