What geometric shape has the maximum surface area for a given volume?

The answer is any body with one dimension much smaller than the rest.
eg a very thin plate with t,w,L as dimensions representing thickness width and
length respectively.
if t<<w,L than
surface area = 2*w*L (approx.)
Volume= t*w*L
hence S/V ratio =2/t (approx)
now since "t" is very small we have a large S/V raio...

If the surface area of a cell is 42 cm squared then what is the volume?
Lack of given information to answer the question.
How do you find SA ratio with volume ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio also called the surface-to-volume ratio and variously denoted sa/volor SA:V, is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects. The surface-area-to-volume ratio is measured in units of inverse distance. A cube with sides of length a will have a surface area of 6a2 and a volume of a3. The surface to volume ratio for a cube is thus shown as .For a given shape, SA:V is inversely proportional to size. A cube 2 m on a side has a ratio of 3 m−1, half that of a cube 1 m on a side. On the converse, preserving SA:V as size increases requires changing to a less compact shape.
The surface area of a box when given the surface area height and peremeter?
It should be relatively easy to find the surface area of a box when you are given the surface area.
How many square feet in 10x10x7?
you've given volume dimensions for a rectangular prism of 700 cubic feet. It's surface area would be 480 square feet.
Which geometric object is defined as the set if all points in a plane at a given distance at a given point?
A circle is the set of all points in a plane at a given distance FROM a given point, which is known as the circle's center.
What geometric shape has the smallest surface area for a given volume?
A sphere
What geometric shape has the smallest surface area for given volume?
A sphere
Why do alveoli have folds in them?
increase surface area for a given volume
How to Maximize volume given surface area?
make it spherical
How to find the surface area and volume of a sphere with a given radius.?
Given a sphere of radius r, Surface area = 4{pi}r2 Volume = (4/3){pi}r3
How do you find height in a cylinder given surface and volume?
By dividing its cross-section area into its volume
Why is a bubble spherical?
The spherical shape is the smallest surface area for a given volume. This comes about naturally when a surface under pure surface tension contains a fluid volume.
What is the formula for the volume of a sphere in terms of surface area S?
Given the surface area, where S=surface area, the formula for finding the volume isV = √(S / 4pi)
Area is the amont of space in a given box?
That's volume. Area is the measurement of a given surface.
What solid shape minimises surface area?
the sphere has the smallest surface area for any given volume.
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.
How are area and perimeter and volume related?
They are characteristics of geometric shapes. However, there is no simple relationship. A rectangle with a given perimeter can have a whole range of areas.
