Question

A rectangular solid has a surface area of `22 cm^2` and a volume of `6 cm^3`. What is the surface-area-to-volume ratio?

Answer 1

`3.667\text{cm}^{-1}`

Explanation:

The surface-area-to-volume ratio is simply the surface area divided by the volume of the object, and it has units of `L^{-1}`,called inverse lenght.

`\text{SA:V}=\frac{22\text{cm}^2}{6\text{cm}^3}=3.667\text{cm}^{-1}`
