A container with a larger surface area always has a greater volume. Explain whether or not this statement is true using several examples to support your argument.

Respuesta :

No, this is not true every time. It depends on the conditions given.

For example-

Suppose we have a Box A with dimensions 10 x 10 x 1 and Box B with dimensions 5 x 5 x 5.

Box B has a surface area = 2(25+25+25) = 150 and a volume of 5*5*5= 125 cubic units

Box A has a larger surface area = 2(100+10+10) = 240 and a smaller volume = 10*10*1 = 100 cubic units

Similarly take an example of sphere.

Lets suppose the radius of the sphere is 2 cm

So, SA is 4πr² = 4*3.14*2*2 = 50.24 cm²

Volume of the sphere is = 4πr³ /3 = 33.50 cm³

Here also the SA is greater.
