Is the coefficient expansion for surface areas three times that of linear expansion?

The coefficient of expansion is a characteristic of materials. It allows one to predict the degree to which the material will expand at a given temperature. A slab of metal has no idea which way it's expanding; it just expands. So it expands approximately the same amount in every direction. This means that surface area increases by about two times. Volume increases by about three times.

What is the effect on coefficient of static friction when side length of a cube of 5 cm is doubled to original?
The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.
The height of a cone is doubled does this double the surface area?
When you change the linear size it changes the areas by the square and the volume of the cube.
What areas did the Italians want for expansion?
Africa.
How do you find the ratio of two similar 3 dimensional figures when only given the surface area?
Notice the exponents in these two statements.Those little tiny numbers tell the whole big story:(the ratio of the surface areas of similar figures) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)2(the ratio of the volumes of similar solids) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)3

Differentiate the surface water areas and surface land areas within the Philippine territorial limits?
The surface water areas of the Philippines covers a larger space than those of the surface land areas. This is possible because 3/4 of the Earth is covered by water.
How many linear feet are in a cubic yard?
linear feet and cubic yards (areas) are different units of measurement and can not be equated.
How do you calculate the surface areas?
The answer will depend on what the surface area is of. The surface areas of regular shapes are can be calculated from formulae but these will depend on the shapes. For non-regular areas there may or may not be simple formulae.
What are the trench like areas on Moon's surface?
the trench like areas on the moons surface are called craters
