5 smallest states by area in the US?
The five smallest states by area are Rhode Island, Delaware, and Connecticut. In addition, New Jersey, and New Hampshire are among the five smallest states.
What is a perimieter?
perimeter is when you have a shape and then you have your area and that is what is in the middle of the shape and perimeter is the edge of the shape.
Is perimeter and area the same?
No , perimeter is the measurement outside of the shape; the border. Area is the measurement of inside of the shape.
How can you calculate the area of a shape?
you times the width by the length of the shape
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 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
What solid shape minimises surface area?
the sphere has the smallest surface area for any given volume.
What is the smallest area of 32 square feet in square shape?
32 square feet.
What is the smallest perimeter area 49cm?
I think this means we have a shape with a perimeter 39cm and we are asked what is the smallest area. It is a rectangle of length 19.5cm and width zero. Or perhaps it should read area 49 cm squared., what is the smallest periimeter. A circle with 49=pi x r2. Then perimeter=pi x 2r
Why do your blood cells have a smooth circular shape?
They need to fit in through even the smallest capillaries
Why is rain in the shape of a sphere?
The surface tension of water is such that it will attempt to create the smallest surface area possible. That will always be a sphere.
What is the smallest possible perimeter for a shape that has an area of 120 centermetres?
Never heard of centermetres before, and an area cannot be 120 centimetres because that is a measure of distance, not area. Instead, let us start with an area of 120 SQUARE centimetres. For a given area, the shape with the smallest perimeter is a circle. A circle with an area of 120 sq cm would have a radius of 6.18 cm and so a perimeter of 38.83 cm (to 2 dp).
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.
Why do pancakes turn out round?
It's the popular shape of a frying pan. Also a circle is the smallest perimeter to enclose an area, surface tension will naturally pull the edges into this shape.
What is the area with the smallest area?
The state with the smallest land area is Rhode Island
What state has a smallest area?
Rhode Island is the smallest state by area.
