all areas of a cube increase by a factor of 3/2. how many times greater is the surface area.
\n" ); document.write( "It's 1.5 times the area (given).
\n" ); document.write( "That's 0.5 times greater, or 50% greater.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "how many times greater is the volume?
\n" ); document.write( "Area is a function of the square of the edge length.
\n" ); document.write( "(3/2)x area --> sqrt(3/2) edge length.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Volume is a function of the cube of the edge length.
\n" ); document.write( "--> Volume is increased by a factor of \"%283%2F2%29%5E%283%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "= Vol is \"3sqrt%286%29%2F4\" times the original volume.
\n" ); document.write( "--> an increase of \"%283sqrt%286%29+-+4%29%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
\n" ); document.write( "PS x times greater = (x+1) times as great.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "eg
\n" ); document.write( "Vol is 4x greater --> Vol + 4*Vol = 5*Vol
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
