Step 1
A net is a two-dimensional figure that can be folded to form a three-dimensional object. For a rectangular prism, the net consists of 6 rectangles - 3 pairs of identical rectangles, each pair representing the top and bottom, the front and back, and the two sides Show more…

A bakery is designing an open-topped cylindrical cardboard container for a panettone cake and wants to know the minimum area of material required to enclose, before the cake is baked, one liter of dough. You should assume that the dough occupies exactly the entire volume of the container. Assuming no cardboard is wasted in the process and that edges can be joined by butting them together (so no overlap is required), determine the dimensions of the container so that the minimum area of cardboard is achieved and the value of this area.

A manufacturer of cardboard drink containers wants to construct a closed rectangular container that has a square base and will hold $\frac{1}{10}$ liter $\left(100 \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right) .$ Estimate the dimension of the container that will require the least amount of material for its manufacture.
