It depends on what shape of object you're working with. For clarity's sake, let's go with a standard cube.

Assume that the cube has dimensions of 1x1x1 (all in feet). Its volume is given by the equation:

V = lwh

and its surface area is given by the equation:

SA = 2(lw)+2(lh)+2(hw). (length*width would give you the area of one side, and multuplying that by two will give you the side directly across from it, etc.)

So, the volume of our 1x1x1 cube would be 1 cubic feet. The surface area would be 6 sq ft.

If the dimensions were 2x2x2, the volume would be 8 cubic feet and the surface area would be 24 sq ft.

There is really no definite answer to this question other than to do the math.

How do you get area and volume of object?

The surface area of object is the sum of the area of all the faces of an object, while the volume is the area of the base of an object multiplied by its height.


How will the pressure of an object change if area is doubled?

It won't. The pressure within a hollow object may change if the surface area changes, hence the volume. The total pressure acting on the exterior of a solid object may change if the total surface area changes.

How does it surface area to volume ratio change as the cell gets bigger?

As a cell gets bigger, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area. This results in a decreased surface area to volume ratio. A smaller surface area to volume ratio can affect the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and wastes with its environment.


Why does the floating or sinking change when an object gets bigger?

When an object gets bigger, its volume and weight increase more than its surface area. This affects the object's buoyancy: larger objects displace more water, making them more likely to float, whereas smaller objects may sink due to their higher density relative to the displaced water.


How is area and volume related?

You need the area to find the volume of an object.


What property changes if the size of an object changes?

The property of the object would change "solid, liquid, or gas"


What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured from a small container into a large container?

The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant. ! xx


How are area and volume alike?

Area is the measurement of the two-dimensional size of an object, and volume is the measurement of the size of an object in three dimensions.


What is the formulla of determining the volume of an object?

Length X width X height= volume Or Cross sectional area X length= volume (Cross sectional area= area of a face if the object)

Is the surface area of an object be smaller than the volume?
