Best Answer

Surface area is the perimeter (amount of space around a shape) around a shape.

For example:

I have a rectangle

So:

3+3=6

9+9=18

18+18=36cm2

What is a real world example of surface area?

A practical need to calculate surface area arises, for example, when you need to paint your house. The amount of paint you need is proportional to the surface area you want to paint.


What can change the surface area to volume ratio?

Yes. There are ways to do that, but it depends on what you wish to change the surface area of. Changing the surface area of something like, say, a shotput is difficult, but changing the surface area of a balloon can be accomplished by merely blowing it up (more) or deflating it.


How do you work out the outer surface area of a cube?

The answer depends on what information you have about the cube. If, for example, you know the volume, V, then the surface area is 6*cuberoot(V)^2. If you have the lengths of an edge, s, then it is 6*s^2.

How do you find the volume of cube only knowing its surface area?

Divide the surface area by six. That will give you the area of one face, which will be a perfect square. The square root of that number will give you the length of a side. The cube of the side will be the volume.


What is the relationship between surface area and rate of evaporation?

Evaporation is a process that takes place at the surface of a liquid, therefore the rate of evaporation is directly related to the surface area. Twice as much surface area will give you twice as much evaporation.
