Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the square–cube law.
"On Being the Right Size" is a 1926 essay by J. B. S. Haldane which discusses proportions in the animal world and the essential link between the size of an animal and these systems an animal has for life. [1]
In the Liezi, the giants of the Longbo Kingdom were shrunk over time as punishment by the heavenly emperor after their burning of the bones of the ao caused the Daiyu and Yuanjiao islands to sink, forcing billions of xian to evacuate their homes. [3]
The ratio between the volumes of similar figures is equal to the cube of the ratio of corresponding lengths of those figures (for example, when the edge of a cube or the radius of a sphere is multiplied by three, its volume is multiplied by 27 — i.e. by three cubed). Galileo's square–cube law concerns similar solids.
I noticed that in the wikipedia entry for this law (Square-cube law), no proof of the law is given. I would like a proof that the ratio of the areas and volumes of 2 similar figures is the square and cube of their scale factor respectively. Thanks. 175.156.52.140 00:06, 1 January 2015 (UTC) I think you can just prove that visually.

It might make the example in the "Description" section clearer if it were explicitly noted that in the first example (the cube with side length of 1 m) the ratio of Area to Volume is 6:1 and in the second example (the cube with side length 2 m) the ration of Area to Volume is 3:1.
