LOL, Make it spherical.
or for better shelf life cubical
5.77 on a side
surface area = 6 * 5.77^2 = 200
Design a new cereal box that will hold the same amount of cereal but reduce
manufacturing costs.
Prove that your new design holds the same amount but can be
manufactured more cheaply. Hint: You will use the volume and surface area in step 1 to
show that you have the same volume but that the manufacturing using the Surface Area
will be less.
You must choose a different shape for the standard cereal box used in step 1
Be sure to show all work.
(The box in step 1 was 12 in tall, 8 in wide and 2 in deep. Which I concluded had a surface area of 292 and volume of 192
