What shape contains heat best?

A sphere contains heat best, since it has the highest ratio of volume to surface area, of any shape.


What does P stand for in surface area?

P stands for Perimeter- The distance around a shape


How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?

The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.


Why the dot of water is always sphere?

Surface tension is in equilibrium. The shape of a sphere has the highest volume to surface area to radius ratio. This shape is the lowest energy level a volume of liquid can have. Deforming it into another shape would involve an increase in surface area and an increase in the average radius.


How how do you find the ratio of an area?

The question is not specific enough for a sensible answer. It could refer to the ratio of the area of the shape to its perimeter or depending on its shape, the ratio of the area to the length of one or more of its sides.


How does the shape surface area and volume affect how fast magma cools?

The shape affects the ratio of surface area to volume. The greater the surface are to volume ratio, the faster the magma will cool.


How can you find perimeter of two similar figures?

You need to find the perimeter of one by adding together the lengths of all its sides. The perimeter of the similar shape is the answer multiplied by the similarity ratio.


Does a basketball have a lot of surface to volume ratio?

No. A sphere has the smallest surface to volume ratio possible and a basketball is nearly spherical in shape (it has surface dimpling and seams).


As a cell becomes smaller its surface-area-to-volume ratio?

The surface area to volume ratio decreases - assuming the shape remains similar.


Which geometric shape has the lowest surface area to volume ratio?
