What solid shape minimises surface area?
the sphere has the smallest surface area for any given volume.
What is the shape of a sphere base?
A sphere has no base, and since it has no base, it has only a surface area and no lateral area.
How does a sphere shape differ from other shapes?
For a given area, the biggest volume you can enclose is a sphere. A sphere has the best volume-to-area ratio.
What makes a solid shape a prism?

How do you find the area of a prism and a sphere?
Area of a sphere = (4pi/3) x (radius)3 Area of a prism depends on its shape, how many faces, etc.
What is the volume of a shape with a surface area of ten cm?
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.
Which geometric shape has the lowest surface area to volume ratio?
A sphere has the lowest surface area to volume ratio of all geometric shapes. This is because the sphere is able to enclose the largest volume with the smallest surface area due to its symmetrical shape.
