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.
I only like cheese when it is in the shape of a cube. or What is 4 cubed? or I tried to shave by pubes into a cube. I have ice cube in my drink.
it melts
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
there are six sides on a ice cube
Because it changes from a solid shape (ice cube) to a liquid shape (Water)
The ice cube remains in its shape in the freezer because the temperature inside the freezer is below the ice cube's melting point, preventing it from melting or changing shape. As long as the temperature stays below freezing, the ice cube will remain solid.
ice, and boxes (some)
Frozen water in cube shape.

if it was a cube ice it wil melt slower and if its long slab will melt faster:)
frozen water An ice cube is a cube (or other shape) that is simply frozen water that has been in an area that is 32 degrees or colder for a certain amount of time.
An ice cube is a solid. It is made up of water molecules that have arranged themselves into a rigid structure with a fixed volume and shape.
nothing
A cube can only have one shape "cubic" - (someone has asked you a trick question). However, certainly the rate at which a piece of solid ice melts IS affect by its shape, the greater the surface area of the piece of ice, the faster it will melt.
It's because an icecube is a solid. Unless if it's melted, it will stay as a solid (cube shape)
