Smaller cube (1 cm X 1 cm X 1 cm) 

<span>The surface area of one side = 1 cm X 1 cm = 1 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>There are 6 sides, total SA = 6 X 1 <span>cm2</span> = 6 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>Volume = 1 cm X 1 cm X 1 cm = 1 cubic cm (1 <span>cm3</span>)</span>

<span>Surface to Volume Ratio = 6 <span>cm2</span>/1 <span>cm3</span> = 6 <span>cm2/cm3</span></span>


Larger cube (6 cm X 6 cm X 6 cm) 

<span>The surface area of one side = 6 cm X 6 cm = 36 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>There are 6 sides, the total SA = 6 X 36 <span>cm2</span> = 216 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>Volume = 6 cm X 6 cm X 6 cm = 216 <span>cm3</span></span>

 

<span>Surface to Volume Ratio = 216 <span>cm2</span>/216 <span>cm3</span> = 1 <span>cm2/cm3</span></span>
