Answer:

None is

Explanation:

Given

Volume and Surface area of a cube

Required

Which is linear

The volume of a cube is:


V(x) = x^3

While the surface are is:


A(x) = 6x^2

Where x represents the length of the side

A linear function construct is represented as:


f(x) = mx + c

By comparing A(x) and V(x) to f(x):

f(x) do not have any form of exponent while A(x) and V(x) have.

So, we can see that both functions are not linear
