Cube square law is like, if you have a square and then make it twice as long you have twice as much space, if you make it twice as wide you have twice as much space, but if you make the box twice as long and wide (make it twice as big entirely) that means you have 4x as much space in the box, not 2x.

It’s saying if you spread out an area the amount you need to use to fill it grows really fast. So a room that is twice as big has 4 times as much air in it.
