The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
You measure or calculate the surface area; you measure or calculate the volume and then you divide the first by the second. The surface areas and volumes will, obviously, depend on the shape.
You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the volume * Divide the surface area by the volume
surface area divided by volume
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
To calculate the surface area of a shape find the area of each side, and then, add all of the areas together. The sum of the areas is the surface area.
The shape affects the ratio of surface area to volume. The greater the surface are to volume ratio, the faster the magma will cool.
1) Calculate the area 2) Calculate the volume 3) Divide the area by the volume to get the ratio
1. Calculate the surface area 2. Calculate the volume 3. Divide
depends on the shape... if its a sphere or a prism or what. You'll get different answers because they have different surface area to volume ratios. Sphere will give you the biggest volume for a given surface area.
It depends on the shape whose surface area you are interested in.
A pentagon is a 2D shape. Volume and Surface Area is only found in 3D shapes.
