  2. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    For example, a cube with a side length of 1 meter has a surface area of 6 m 2 and a volume of 1 m 3. If the sides of the cube were multiplied by 2, its surface area would be multiplied by the square of 2 and become 24 m 2. Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to ...

    Pyramids. Tetrahedron. Cone. Cylinder. Sphere. Ellipsoid. This is a list of volume formulas of basic shapes: [4]: 405–406. Cone – , where is the base 's radius. Cube – , where is the side's length;

  4. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m -1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus.

  5. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  6. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

    For example, consider the formulas for the area enclosed by a circle in two dimensions (=) and the volume enclosed by a sphere in three dimensions (=). One might guess that the volume enclosed by the sphere in four-dimensional space is a rational multiple of π r 4 {\displaystyle \pi r^{4}} , but the correct volume is π 2 2 r 4 {\displaystyle ...

  7. Sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere

    For most practical purposes, the volume inside a sphere inscribed in a cube can be approximated as 52.4% of the volume of the cube, since V = ⁠ π / 6 ⁠ d 3, where d is the diameter of the sphere and also the length of a side of the cube and ⁠ π / 6 ⁠ ≈ 0.5236.

  8. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    Both formulas can be determined by using Pythagorean theorem. The surface area of a cube is six times the area of a square: [4] =. The volume of a cuboid is the product of its length, width, and height. Because all the edges of a cube are equal in length, it is: [4] =.

  9. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    Volume is a measure of regions in three-dimensional space. [1] It is often quantified numerically using SI derived units (such as the cubic metre and litre) or by various imperial or US customary units (such as the gallon, quart, cubic inch). The definition of length and height (cubed) is interrelated with volume.
