2. Surface area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

   A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

3. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

   Graphs of surface area, A against volume, V of the Platonic solids and a sphere, showing that the surface area decreases for rounder shapes, and the surface-area-to-volume ratio decreases with increasing volume. Their intercepts with the dashed lines show that when the volume increases 8 (2³) times, the surface area increases 4 (2²) times.

4. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

   For example, a cube with a side length of 1 meter has a surface area of 6 m 2 and a volume of 1 m 3. If the sides of the cube were multiplied by 2, its surface area would be multiplied by the square of 2 and become 24 m 2. Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3.

5. Surface (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(mathematics)

   A sphere is the surface of a solid ball, here having radius r. In mathematics, a surface is a mathematical model of the common concept of a surface.It is a generalization of a plane, but, unlike a plane, it may be curved; this is analogous to a curve generalizing a straight line.

6. On the Sphere and Cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sphere_and_Cylinder

   In his work, Archimedes showed that the surface area of a cylinder is equal to: = + = (+). and that the volume of the same is: =. [3] On the sphere, he showed that the surface area is four times the area of its great circle. In modern terms, this means that the surface area is equal to:

7. Sphericity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphericity

   Hakon Wadell defined sphericity as the surface area of a sphere of the same volume as the particle divided by the actual surface area of the particle. First we need to write surface area of the sphere, A s {\displaystyle A_{s}} in terms of the volume of the object being measured, V p {\displaystyle V_{p}}
