for the three cubes shown below, determine their surface area, volume and surface area to volume ratio. Then circle the one you believe would be the most efficient and write a summary stating why.

1.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm
.5 cm x .5 cm x 6 cm
3 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm

1 answer

If you compute volume <em>vs</em> surface area, you will find that the shape with highest V/A ratio is a cube.
