What shape has the most surface area?
least volume and most surface area is 3D triangle
Why does sphere has the smallest surface area?
Thinking about the two dimensional equivalent, sharp corners basically waste perimeter while encompassing little additional area. As you increase the number of corners in a shape, you end up carving out more area for the same input of perimeter. As a shape's number of sides approaches larger and larger numbers, it rounds out to the point where you can think of a circle as a shape with infinite number of sides and corners. The same goes for three dimensional figures, substituting volume for area. Essentially, sharp corners are wasteful, the more corners you have the less wasteful they are, so if you have an infinite number of corners, you'll be enclosing the most volume/area with minimum surface area/perimeter.
What is a demi-regular tessellation?
no one actually knows the PROPER definition of a demi-regular tessellation but all I know is that most of them have curvy lines and/or more than one different shape in it. Some do have just one shape in it but some don't.
What shape has the most lines of symmetry?
circle
What is the most common shape in the world?
A square.
What shape has the most surface area?
least volume and most surface area is 3D triangle
What shape would have the least Surface Area and the most volume?
A circle
What 3D shape has the most surface area?
For a given volume, you can make the surface area arbitrarily large. In other words, there is no upper limit.
Why is everything in space a sphere shape?
A sphere contains the most volume to surface area ratio there is and most things sought that shape when molten.
What shape can you heat water most efficiently?
A sphere. It has minimum surface area per volume.
How white cell make a normal shape without cell wall?
I am fairly certain that red and white blood cells make there shape because that Is the most efficient shape to bind oxygen to their surface area.
Pieces of a solid substance with a regular shape?
Most crystals.
How do you work out the surface area of a sphere shape?
The area of a sphere is equal to its circumference times its diameter.There are a variety of ways to work out this formula, most of them involving calculus.(See the links for the volume of a sphere).
What can change the surface area to volume ratio?
Yes. There are ways to do that, but it depends on what you wish to change the surface area of. Changing the surface area of something like, say, a shotput is difficult, but changing the surface area of a balloon can be accomplished by merely blowing it up (more) or deflating it.
A shape with four unequal sides?
Most non-regular quadrilaterals.
Which cell shape can absorb nutrients efficiently and quickly?
Cells with greater surface area can absorb more nutrients. Some cells, like those that line the walls of the intestine, have finger-like protrusions call villi which increase their surface area even more.
Can the volume be less than the surface area?
Since the volume of a shape is measured in cm3, m3 etc. and the surface area is measured in m2, cm2 etc. You can't really compare the two. However, if you're just looking at the numbers than yes it can be and in most cases the volume will generally be smaller than the surface area. Hopefully that makes sense and helps!
