You cannot compare volume and surface area and claim which one is bigger, because the units are different (units2 vs. units3) and it also depends on the type of unit used (e.g. inches, centimeters). You could compare volume and surface area numerically, but that would be virtually meaningless.
I previously posted an example of a cube with side length 1 meter. In this cube, the volume is 1 m3 and the surface area is 6 m2, implying "larger" surface area. However, if we said that the side length was 100 centimeters (same value), the volume would be 106 cm3 and the surface area would be 6*104 m2. Here, the volume was "larger."
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.
You measure or calculate the surface area; you measure or calculate the volume and then you divide the first by the second. The surface areas and volumes will, obviously, depend on the shape.
figures with the same volume does not have the same surface area.
The total surface area is 150mm2 and the volume of the cube 125mm3
To tackle this you first need to know the equations for both volume and surface area. The surface area of a cube is 6x2 where x is the side length. The volume of the cube is x3. Thus x is the cube root of the volume. We can substitute this in to the surface area equation and say that the surface area of a cube is 6volume2/3 This can also be rearranged to say that the volume of the cube is (the surface area/6)1.5
they have a greater surface-to-volume ratio
As cell volume increases, the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume decreases. This is because the surface area increases by a square factor while the volume increases by a cube factor. A higher surface area to volume ratio is more favorable for efficient nutrient exchange and waste removal in cells.
You must be with K12 if you are it is The surface area of A is greater than the surface area of B.
The shape affects the ratio of surface area to volume. The greater the surface are to volume ratio, the faster the magma will cool.
due to surface area. if you are taller your lungs will have a greater surface area which will raise the volume.
A smaller cell has a higher surface area to volume ratio. A reason for this is volume is cubic (3D) and surface area is 2D so when surface area increases a little bit, the volume increases exponentially. And when the surface area shrinks a little bit, the volume decreases exponentially.
Capillaries are tiny blood vessels. They need to have a greater surface area to volume ratio because they need to diffuse oxygen quicker.
A planet with a greater mass does not necessarily have greater surface area than one with less mass. The planet could be made of denser material and have a smaller surface area. Mass doesn't always mean volume.
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
The surface area of cylinder with radius equal to 4 and height equal to 9 is 326.725 square units.
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
