Total surface area of a cube = 6(side) 2 ; CBSE Class 9: Heron’s Formula - Applications of Heron’s Formula. CBSE Class 9: Lines and Angles - Basics Terms and Definition.

Large cubes melt more slowly because of their surface area-to-volume ratio. Imagine a big cube of ice with six sides. Heat flows from the air (or your drink) into the ice, through the surface.

Surface-to-volume ratio is a fundamental concept in nanotechnology that describes the relationship between the surface area and volume of a material or object. As the size of a material decreases to ...
