The containers must be spheres of radius = 6.2cm
How to minimize the surface area for the containers?
We know that the shape that minimizes the area for a fixed volume is the sphere.
Here, we want to get spheres of a volume of 1 liter. Where:
1 L = 1000 cm³
And remember that the volume of a sphere of radius R is:
[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*R^3[/tex]
Then we must solve:
[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*R^3 = 1000cm^3\\\\R =\sqrt[3]{ (1000cm^3*\frac{3}{4*3.14} )} = 6.2cm[/tex]
The containers must be spheres of radius = 6.2cm
