Square–cube scaling

Double every dimension. How much bigger is the volume?

Playback is compressed; model values are shown separately.

Make a prediction

How does volume change when every length is scaled?

Ready. Adjust the settings or press Run.

How it works & assumptions

Surface area=6L² and volume=L³. Multiplying every length by k multiplies surface area by k² and volume by k³.

Geometrically similar solid cubes. Perspective is illustrative; reported dimensions and ratios are exact model values.

This is an ideal mathematical model, not a measurement or a forecast.
