Surface area is the amount of space on the face of a 2D side, like a piece of paper. And to find this we use (for 4 sided object); A = lh where l = length and h = height. This formula changes as the number of sides increase or decrease. Volume is the amount of space inside a 3D object, like a cube. To find this we use(for a 6 sided object); A = lbh where l = length, b = breadth and h = height.

To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
Volume=area * length of that surface
surface area divided by volume
Think of surface area as your skin and volume as all the contents inside your body. So they relate because surface area can hold volume or volume could be inside the surface area.
