To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
533 m2/1,372 m3 = 0.3885 per meter (rounded)
It is not possible to have a sphere with a surface are of 300 metres squared and a volume of 500 metres cubed. A surface area of 300 sq metres would imply a volume of 488.6 cubic metres or a shape that is non-spherical!
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.

To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.

As a cell becomes larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area. This results in a decrease in the surface area to volume ratio. A high surface area to volume ratio is important for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste with the cell's environment.
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
No, a basketball does not have a high surface-to-volume ratio because the volume of a sphere increases more rapidly than its surface area as its size increases.
