Yes, absolutely. Heat transfer from the surrounding environment into the ice cube causes it to melt. The greater the rate of heat transfer INTO to ice cube, the faster it will melt. The greater the surface area of the ice cube, in relation to it size, the faster the melting will occur. The ideal shape for the least heat transfer [and this is true for cold or hot objects] is a SPHERE. A sphere has the minimum surface area for the mass of the object. Any shape other than a sphere has more surface area for the mass, an will melt faster. The thinner more spreak out ice will melt faster melting consumes enerhy inthe form of heat. The amount of energy needed is the proportional of the ice water. The heat applied to it can be radiation or matter. Johnson Kevin, Ohio
people want their ice cubes to last longer, so if you make ice cubes in a different shape so they melt slower, people will be happier.

It is likely that the shape you have in mind is a cube, with each edge being 3 cm long.
8^3 = 512
A unit cube.

if it was a cube ice it wil melt slower and if its long slab will melt faster:)
Yes, ice melts from the outside which means the wider surface area, the faster it will melt!
Yes, the shape of an ice cube can affect how fast it melts. Ice cubes with a larger surface area will melt more quickly than those with a smaller surface area because there is more surface area for heat to transfer to the ice cube. Shape can affect how quickly an ice cube is able to distribute the heat received, influencing the melting rate.
Adding salt to ice lowers its freezing point, which speeds up the melting process. This makes ice melt faster when salt is added compared to ice without salt. The exact time it takes for an ice cube to melt will depend on factors such as the amount of salt added, temperature, and size of the ice cube.
The time it takes to melt an ice cube in a fridge can vary based on factors like the size of the cube, the temperature setting of the fridge, and the air circulation inside. Generally, a small ice cube can melt in a few hours to overnight in a typical fridge.
25 seconds is how long it takes

As long as each differently shaped ice cube is the same volume of water, letting it sit out in the sun should take the same amount of time. Melting it in other ways, like using a frying pan, will affect how quickly it melts.
An ice cube is a three-dimensional object, so it does not have a length per se. It has a length, width, and height. Typically, an ice cube is a cube shape with all sides being equal in length.
People have known long before the invention of science that water takes the shape of its container.
