Here are two closed containers and four balls just fit into each container. Each ball has a diameter of 60mm. Which container ha
1 answer:
Answer:
Container B has smaller surface area.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Container A
Radius = 60/2 = 30 mm
Height = 4 x 60 = 240 mm
Container B
Length = 120
Width = 120
Height = 60
Computation:
Surface area of container A (Cylinder) = 2πr[h+r]
Surface area of container A (Cylinder) = 2[22/7][60][120+60]
Surface area of container A (Cylinder) = 67,885.70 mm² (Approx)
Surface area of container B (Cuboid) = 2[lb+bh+hl]
Surface area of container B (Cuboid) = 2[(14,400)+(7,200)+(7,200)]
Surface area of container B (Cuboid) = 57,600 mm²
Container B has smaller surface area.
