I really do not want to fail this project, could anyone please help me understand this and go through step by step with me? Thank you so much.

Modern Design magazine is having a contest to design the best ice cube in one of three shapes¡Xa cube, a sphere, or a cylinder. Use the following guidelines to make your choice and complete your contest entry.
1. Find and simplify the volume-to-surface-area ratio for each of the three possible ice cube shapes. You can use this chart. Shape Surface Area Formula Volume Formula cube
2 S.A. 6s ƒ­ 3 Vs ƒ­
sphere 2 S.A. 4 r ƒà ƒ­ 3 4 3 Vr ƒà ƒ­ cylinder 2 S.A. 2 2 r rh ƒàƒà ƒ­ƒy 2 V r h ƒà ƒ­
2. Use the ratios to choose the best shape for an ice cube¡Xa cube, sphere, or cylinder. Also, choose what you think is the best size for that shaped ice cube. 3. Consider these questions as you make your decision:
a. Since the purpose of an ice cube is to keep a drink cold, is it better for an ice cube to have a high volume or a low volume?
b. Since heat touching the surface of an ice cube causes it to melt, is it better for an ice cube to have a large surface area or a small surface area?
c. Which volume-to-surface-area ratio would be better for an ice cube¡X the lowest possible or the highest possible?
d. How does increasing the size of an object affect its volume-to-surfacearea ratio?
4. Create a visual model to show your ice cube design, including the dimensions you would choose and the volume and surface area of that cube.
Your visual model and the explanation of your choice of ice cube shape and size will be submitted as your portfolio assessment.

Did you manage to figure out this assignment? I have the same portfolio assignment and it is super confusing!

did anyone find out how to do this ? i really need help …

Hey! So I want to help yall out so here is the link I used to check my work! I don't know if it's reliable because I haven't gotten my grade back yet, but its better than nothing!

(update) it doesnt let me put URLS but, if you just search up, " Modern Design magazine is having a contest to design the best ice
cube in one of three shapes—a cube, a sphere, or a cylinder. Use the following guidelines to make your choice and complete your contest entry. "

it should be the first or second link to pop up! its, www.algebra.com!

im probably gonna fail :/

To complete your contest entry for Modern Design magazine, follow these steps:

1. Find and simplify the volume-to-surface-area ratio for each of the three possible ice cube shapes using the given formulas:
- Cube: Surface Area = 6s^2, Volume = s^3
- Sphere: Surface Area = 4πr^2, Volume = (4/3)πr^3
- Cylinder: Surface Area = 2πrh + 2πr^2, Volume = πr^2h

2. Use the volume-to-surface-area ratios to determine the best shape for an ice cube and choose the size for that shape. Consider the following questions:
a. Since the purpose of an ice cube is to keep a drink cold, it is better for an ice cube to have a high volume. This means that it can hold more cold water to keep the drink chilled for a longer time.
b. Since heat touching the surface of an ice cube causes it to melt, it is better for an ice cube to have a small surface area. This minimizes the contact between the ice cube and the surrounding heat, reducing the rate of melting.
c. A higher volume-to-surface-area ratio would be better for an ice cube, as it indicates a larger volume relative to the surface area. This means more ice for cooling and less exposure to heat.
d. Increasing the size of an object will affect its volume-to-surface-area ratio. As the size increases, the volume increases faster than the surface area, resulting in a higher volume-to-surface-area ratio.

3. Combine the answers from the previous step to choose the best ice cube shape and size for the contest.

4. Create a visual model of your chosen ice cube design, including the dimensions you would select and the volume and surface area calculations for that cube.

Submit your visual model and a detailed explanation of your choice of ice cube shape and size as your portfolio assessment for the contest entry.

Good luck with your project!
