Question

HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Soup can be packaged in two different containers: a box and a cylinder. The dimensions of the box are 7.5 cm by 4.7 cm by 14.5 cm. The cylinder has a radius of 3.3 cm and a height of 10 cm. Determine which container uses less material to make and find out which container holds more soup. Create a design for each container shape. Be sure to name your soup!

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use the following formulas:

surface area of rectangular prism: A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

volume of rectangular prism: lwh

surface area of cylinder: A=2πrh+2πr^2

volume of cylinder: V=πr^2h

using these formulas, the surface area of the box is 424.3

the volume of the box is about 511.3

the surface area of the cylinder is about 275.77

the volume is 342.12

knowing this, the cylinder uses less material but the box holds more soup.
