Their intercepts with the dashed lines show that when the volume increases 8 (2³) times, the surface area increases 4 (2²) times. The surface-area-to-volume ratio or surface-to-volume ratio (denoted as SA:V, SA/V, or sa/vol) is the ratio between surface area and volume of an object or collection of objects.
