The more surface area an ice cube has, the more quickly it melts to cool a beverage. mark states that the ideal ice cube would b
e a prism that is a perfect cube of dimensions 2 by 2 by 2. denise thinks that the prism should be more flat, with dimensions of 1 by 2 by 4. which rectangular prism gives the greatest surface area, making for a better ice cube?
It is true that t<span>he more surface area an ice cube has, the more quickly it melts to cool a beverage. By making the length of the prism shorter by 1 and the height longer by 2, the resulting prism will look like a 2D object floating on the beverage. Thus, it will cool it faster.
The correct answer is: </span>1 by 2 by 4 or 1 x 2 x 4
