SURFACE DEPENDS UPON SIZE AND SHAPE 



A 1-inch cube exposes 6 square inches of surface. Eight such cubes combined into 

 a single large cube expose 24 square inches of surface; when arranged in a tall 

 column, 34 square inches; and when scattered separately, 48 square inches. Similarly, 

 a tall person weighing 160 pounds exposes more surface than a stocky person of 

 the same weight, but decidedly less than eight babies weighing 20 pounds each
