On a very basic level, surface area and volume are both ways to measure 3-demensional figures.
Notice the exponents in these two statements.Those little tiny numbers tell the whole big story:(the ratio of the surface areas of similar figures) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)2(the ratio of the volumes of similar solids) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)3
The surface area to volume ratio decreases - assuming the shape remains similar.
The volume is cubed and the surface area is squared.
If many smaller cubes are combined to form a larger cube, then the surface area of the large cube is: 6 x (length of one side squared)
you put: a squared over b squared = surface area of the smaller solid over surface area of the bigger solid

If the volumes are 343 mm3 and 512 mm3 then these represent a three dimensional object. The equivalent ratio of a single dimension is ³√343 : ³√512 = 7 : 8. Areas are proportional to the square of the single dimension, namely 72 : 82 = 49 : 64. Let A be the surface area of the smaller figure. As the areas are proportional then A/192 = 49/64 Therefore A = 192 x 49/64 = 147 mm2.

figures with the same volume does not have the same surface area.
The volume is cubed and the surface area is squared.
It is the measurement units for the surface area.
Surface area is squared. Only volume is cubed.
The force of gravity at the surface of Venus is 8.87 meters per second per second, or 8.87 meters per second squared. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh approximately 91 pounds on Venus.
