It is not always the case. If you are out in the cold with insufficient clothing, the important thing - to prevent hypothermia - is to MINIMISE the surface to volume ratio.
Given the surface area, where S=surface area, the formula for finding the volume isV = √(S / 4pi)
That's volume. Area is the measurement of a given surface.
the sphere has the smallest surface area for any given volume.
Given a sphere of radius r, Surface area = 4{pi}r2 Volume = (4/3){pi}r3
To maximize the surface area/volume ratio.

increase surface area for a given volume
Given a sphere of radius r, Surface area = 4{pi}r2 Volume = (4/3){pi}r3
depends on the shape... if its a sphere or a prism or what. You'll get different answers because they have different surface area to volume ratios. Sphere will give you the biggest volume for a given surface area.
A sphere
A sphere
By dividing its cross-section area into its volume
Make the height the subject of the fornula for the volume or surface area of the cylinder
