Hello!
This post marks the end of another Scimatics project. This one was all about surface area, volume, and 3D shapes. One of my favourite things to do in math.
If you couldn’t tell, I was not trying to be sarcastic. I actually really enjoy calculating the surface area and volume of random prisms. I’m a weirdo, but whatever. We can discuss my strange interests another time.
The premise of this project was to design an inanimate object on a 3D program called Tinkercad. We either had to design the object so that it had as much surface area or volume as possible. At first, I didn’t really understand the project. If you’re trying to get maximum volume, why not make the object the size of Vancouver? The size of Earth? It turns out that it had to be smaller that 10cm squared. That made a bit more sense.
