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]

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.
