Calculus question!!!! Pleaseee?

An ordinary soda can has a volume of 355 cm^3.1.What shape will hold this volume of pop using the least amount of aluminum ( minimizing surface area)?2.Demonstrate your conclusion by comparing 3 different shapes in addition to a cylinderYOU CAN PICK ANY EASY SHAPE!3Are real soda cans this shape? Why or why not?

Answer:

i don't know, but u must be rich!
hi there ! contact OTIS or BLUESTAR ! best wishes.
LOTS of money ( serious structural changes required ) ( also some zoning laws do not allow them - but best case scenario requires an engineering study - best if you look in the yellow pages and get a local estimate THIS IS NOT A DO-IT-YOURSELF PROJECT ) last of all check with your insurance company they may also have some bad news for you
Hi 1It would be a bit hard to prove, but it's a sphere2A sphere would have a surface area of 4π[3(355)/(4π)]^(2/3) ≈ 242A cube would have a surface area of 6(355)^(2/3) ≈ 301A right triangular cone would have a surface area of π(3355/π)^(2/3)(1 + 1/√2) ≈ 261A cylinder with radius height would have a surface area of 4π(355/π)^(2/3) ≈ 2943One reason why real soda cans aren't made in the shape of a sphere is because it's be hard to holdI hope this helps!
