If the height of a cube doubles and becomes a square prism instead of a cube, four of the six original equal area surfaces double in area, but the other two are unchanged. Therefore the area of the square prism is (2/3) X 2 = 4/3 as great as the original cube.
If the original object is to remain a cube when its height doubles, all the other dimensions must also double; in that instance, the area increases by a factor of four.

What happens to the surface area of a cylinder if the diameter of the base is doubled and the height is not changed?
The base areas quadruple and the curved surface doubles.
What happens to the area of a triangle if the height is doubled?
The area doubles if the base stays the same.
What happens to the Surface Area and Volume of a pyramid if the radius and height are divided by 2?
The surface area is reduced by a factor 4, the volume by a factor 8.
What is the height of a cylinder with a radius of 8 and a surface area of 954.56?
