Question: Consider three cubes, Cube A with side length 6 cm, cube B, with side length 9 cm, and cube C with side length 12 cm.

Consider three cubes, Cube A with side length 6 cm, cube B, with side length 9 cm, and cube C with side length 12 cm. By definition these cubes are isometric. Calculate the surface area of each cube. Now that you have calculated the surface area of each cube, calculate the volume of each cube. Lastly, Calculate the surface area to volume ratio (A/V) for each cube, or relative surface area. From your answers to the previous questions, which statement is correct? 1. As an animal grows, it's surface area to volume ratio decreases. 2. As an animal grows, it's surface area to volume ratio stays the same. 3. As an animal grows, it's surface area to volume ratio increases. What would be the slope of a log-log plot of the surface area per unit volume of a cube versus the volume of a cube
