To tackle this you first need to know the equations for both volume and surface area. The surface area of a cube is 6x2 where x is the side length. The volume of the cube is x3. Thus x is the cube root of the volume. We can substitute this in to the surface area equation and say that the surface area of a cube is 6volume2/3

This can also be rearranged to say that the volume of the cube is (the surface area/6)1.5

How does a surface area of a solid vary with its volume?

Provided the shape remains similar, the surface varies as the 2/3 power of the volume. Or, to put it another way, the cube root of the volume varies directly as the square root of the surface area. Or, the square of the volume is in direct proportion to the cube of the area.


What it is inverse and direct proportion?

Direct Proportion means that as one increases, the other also increases.Inverse proportion is the reciprocal of direct proportion. If something is in the direct proportion of 1:3, then the inversion proportion is 3:1.OrIndirect Proportion means that as one increases the other decreases, or one is directly proportional to 1 divided by the other. Example: Pressure is indirectly proportional to volume, or Pressure is directly proportional to 1/Volume.


What is the relationship between surface area and volume of a rectangular prism?

There is no direct relationship.


When the volume is constant how do the masses of 2 objects differ?

When volume is constant, the masses of two objects are in direct proportion to their densities.


Is the relationship between pressure and volume direct or inverse?

the relationship between pressure and volume a direct or inverse?


What happens to the density of an object if the mass increases but the volume stays the same?

If the volume remains the same, the density will increase in direct proportion to the increase in mass.


If a fixed sample of a gas increases in temperature at a constant pressure its volume does what?

Increases in direct proportion to the increase in temperature (on an absolute scale).


How many times is the volume of a triangular prism different form it's surface area?

There is no direct relationship between the two. The ratio depends on the relative measures.


Does gas retain it's volume at varying temps and pressures?

It can but, not necessarily so. At a constant volume the temperature and pressure rise in direct proportion. At a constant temperature the volume is inversely proportionate to the pressure. At a constant pressure the volume is directly proportionate to the temperature.


What does volume and surface area have in common?

The volume of a body and the surface area arerelated but not in a direct way. For a given volume, the smallest surface area of an object is seen then the object is a sphere. As the shape flattens from a sphere, so the surface area becomes larger. When the object approaches an infinitely small thickness, the surface area approaches and infinite size.


A balloon is filled with helium. Its volume is 4.2L at 312.K. What will its volume in liters be at 285.K assuming no change in pressure?

Assuming pressure is constant, like you said, volume and temperature have a direct relationship. As temperature increases, volume increases; as temperature decreases, volume decreases. Setting up a algebraic direct proportion, you get approximately 3.84 liters for the balloon at 285 degrees K.


What is the relationship between rate of ion exchange and surface to volume ratio?

As the surface to volume ratio increases the rate of in exchange increases too.
