a rectangular box has a volume of 4 m^3.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assume a box with dimensions, 2 by 2 by 1
\n" ); document.write( "Find the surface area
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 2(2^2) + 4(2*1)
\n" ); document.write( "S.A = 8 + 8
\n" ); document.write( "S.A = 16 sq/m
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The relationship of the vol to the surface area 4:16 = 1:4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "what is the volume of an identically shaped box whose surface area is four times as big ?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4 * 16 = 64 sq/m
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = volume of the larger box with 4 times the surface area
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F64\" = \"1%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 64
\n" ); document.write( "x = 64/4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16 cu/m volume of the larger box \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
