Mathematical problem: what is the minimum material used to build a cylindrical container (without cover) with a volume of V when the bottom radius and height are respectively?
When the cylindrical surface is unfolded into a square, the least material is saved.
So 2πr=h
Because V=πr again? h=πr? (2πr)=2π? r?
So r? =V/2π? )
r=? √(V/2π? )
h=2π*? √(V/2π? ))
