For a cube with edge length, L.
Surface area = 6L2.
Volume = L3.
So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L.
Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.

What happens to the surface area of a cube when it doubles?
I will rephrase your question: What happens to the surface area of a cube when the volume doubles. Ans. Surface area becomes 1.5876 times larger. Explanation: Let L = the length of the side of the original cube and h x L the length of the cube that is double the volume. Now: Vol= L^3 x 2 = (h x L)^3 or h = 2^(1/3) = 1.2599, so the length will be 1.2599 times larger. Surface area = 6 x L^2 for original cube and 6 x L^2 x 1.2599^2 for the cube with twice the volume. 1.2599^2 = 1.5876 If you are asking what happens to the surface area when the sides double, then the larger cube has surface area = 6 * 2^2 * L^2 , so 6 * 2^2 = 24. Each side is 4 times larger so the total surface area is 24 times larger.
The surface area of two similar figures are 36in and 49in if the volume of the smaller figure is 648 in what is the volume of the larger figure?

Does the diameter surface area and circumference affect the heat loss?
yes heat loss is affected by diameter, circumference and surface area. Heat loss depends on the surface area : volume ratio.......the larger this is the more heat is lost if a cylinder having the same volume but a different surface area...(therefre radius and circumference is different)........the cylinder having the larger surface area will loose heat fastest
Does volume surface area have cm square?
Volume does not, surface area does.
Do cubes have the same volume and surface area?
Yes Volume: Is the amount it takes to build it. Surface Area: Is how much is on the surface.
What happens to surface area to volume ratios for larger and larger cubes?
They grow
As a cell becomes larger what happens to its surface area and volume?
The Volume increases faster than the Surface Area
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
What happens to the volume as an object gets larger?
really.. the answer is that the volume also gets larger
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
How does cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
because it has the surface area of volume
Describe cell volume cell surface area ratio of surface area to volume?
Look in the book broseff.
How does surface area describe a cell?
Surface area of cell is divided volume of cell to get surface to volume ratio . If surface area is 8 cm2 and volume is 2 cm2 . The ratio would be 4:1 .
Is the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a small cell less than that of a larger cell?
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
Why are groups of a small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
