The fewer the number of sides that a polygon has, the higher the surface area to volume ratio. This increases until the polygon has an infinite number of sides, or has become a perfect sphere, when the ratio is the smallest.

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

Answer: There doesn't appear to be a single best answer to this type of question. But if we're proposing simple shapes as answers, then a proportionally very thin film (like a sheet of paper) seems serve adequately. From what I have seen and gather, shapes with long length and width and a short depth would have a bigger surface area compared to its volume. in addition, shapes like cubes and spheres will have a greater volume for their surface area.


Is the total area the same as the surface area?

Yes.Conventionally, total area is usually used for the area of a complicated 2-dimensional shape where the area of smaller shapes are calculated and added together. The surface area usually refers to a 3-dimensional object for which the areas of the faces are calculated and added together.Yes.Conventionally, total area is usually used for the area of a complicated 2-dimensional shape where the area of smaller shapes are calculated and added together.

How do you find the surface area of 3-d composite figure?

There are different formulae for different shapes and these vary in complexity.


What shape has the smallest area?

circle has the smallest area


What is the surface area of a 2L bottle?

It depends on the shape of the bottle. There are an infinite number of shapes, all with different dimensions and different surface areas, that could all hold 2 L.
