1 QUESTION. PLEASE HELP. VOLUME GEOMETRY QUESTION.

____________________________________________________

• If you were to run a real-world company, the cost of the materials would be a big consideration. A savvy business person would want to keep cost down by keeping the amount of materials in their products to a minimum. How might knowing about the geometry and volumes of different 3-D shapes help with this decision making process? Feel free to use examples.Please use your best spelling and grammar in your 3-5 sentence answer.

Knowing the volume of a 3-D shape is extremely when deciding what materials to use and how much of them to use. When you know the volume of the different designs is helpful when deciding which material costs less to use but still meets requirements. For example, if you were trying to decide what material to fill your product with, and say the volume of your product is 36^3. You narrow things down to two products, one costing $54 to fill the entire thing. The other costing $60. Because you have the volume, it will be easy to decide which is better based off of the price per square inch. If you didn't have the volume. You would have to make an estimate and potentially make a bad business decision.

Hope this helps! I apologize for my long response
