Best Answer

Objects of different shapes have different mass-to-area ratios.

For two similar objects, the volume is proportional to the third power of its length, but the surface area proportional to the second power of its length. For example, doubling the length would give you 8 times as much volume, and 4 times as much area.

How are surface area and volume related to cell size?

Volume varies as the 1.5th power of the surface area of regular solids. With other well behave solids, this relationship applies as long as all three dimensions change in the same ratio - that is, the shapes are similar.


What are the uses of Volume and surface area of solids?

Volume of a solid helps us understand the amount of space it occupy's internally. Surface area of a solid helps us know what is the area of a given face/faces of a solid.
