Answer: There doesn't appear to be a single best answer to this type of question. But if we're proposing simple shapes as answers, then a proportionally very thin film (like a sheet of paper) seems serve adequately.
From what I have seen and gather, shapes with long length and width and a short depth would have a bigger surface area compared to its volume. in addition, shapes like cubes and spheres will have a greater volume for their surface area.

How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
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.
Consider the following geometric solids. A sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.3 m-1. A right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 2.1 m-1. What resul?
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
Consider the following geometric solids. a sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.15 m-1 a right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal 2.2 m-1 what results w?
C- The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder
How do you calculate 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.
How do you find SA ratio with volume ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio also called the surface-to-volume ratio and variously denoted sa/volor SA:V, is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects. The surface-area-to-volume ratio is measured in units of inverse distance. A cube with sides of length a will have a surface area of 6a2 and a volume of a3. The surface to volume ratio for a cube is thus shown as .For a given shape, SA:V is inversely proportional to size. A cube 2 m on a side has a ratio of 3 m−1, half that of a cube 1 m on a side. On the converse, preserving SA:V as size increases requires changing to a less compact shape.
Which geometric shape has the lowest surface area to volume ratio?
a sphere
How can you obtain the cells ratio of surface area to volume?
If the cell has a simple geometric shape, there are formulae that can be used. Otherwise you need to measure the surface area and the volume.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
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.
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
Consider the following geometric solids. A sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.3 m-1. A right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 2.1 m-1. What resul?
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
What Consider the following geometric solids a sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal 0.08m-1 a right circular cirlinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal 2.1 m-1 APEX?

How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
How does surface to volume ratio to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
