  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    The volume of a prism is the product of the area of the base by the height, i.e. the distance between the two base faces (in the case of a non-right prism, note that this means the perpendicular distance). The volume is therefore: =, where B is the base area and h is the height.

  6. 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 length, width, and height. Because the edges of a cube are all equal in length, it is: [4] =.

  9. Rhombicuboctahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicuboctahedron

    The surface area of a rhombicuboctahedron can be determined by adding the area of all faces: 8 equilateral triangles and 18 squares. The volume of a rhombicuboctahedron V {\displaystyle V} can be determined by slicing it into two square cupolas and one octagonal prism.
