The containers must be spheres of radius = 6.2cm
<h3>How to minimize the surface area for the containers?</h3>
We know that the shape that minimizes the area for a fixed volume is the sphere.
Here, we want to get spheres of a volume of 1 liter. Where:
1 L = 1000 cm³
And remember that the volume of a sphere of radius R is:
Then we must solve:
The containers must be spheres of radius = 6.2cm

A polygon is a two-dimensional closed object. The polygon that best describes a stop sign is a regular octagon.
<h3>What is a polygon?</h3>A polygon is a two-dimensional closed object with n number of straight sides that is flat or planar and the value of n is always greater than 2 (n>2).
<h3>What is an octagon?</h3>An octagon is a polygon that has 8 number of sides.
As we know that a stop sign has 8 sides, therefore, the polygon that is in the shape of the stop sign is an octagon.
An octagon has 8 sides, and as it is mentioned in the problem that sides and angles appear to be congruent, therefore, the polygon must be a regular polygon.
Hence, the polygon that best describes a stop sign is a regular octagon.
