Question

Please Help!

You’ll soon make two pieces of ice with the approximate shapes shown in the image. Both pieces of ice have the same mass and volume. How are the two shapes different from one another?

Answer 1

Well they are different widths and and sizes shapes, and so they are  different because of that.

Answer 2

They have different surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, apart from the fact that they have different shapes, they have another difference:

Even having the same mass and volume, the surface of two objects can be different

In an estimation:

Piece 1 (cube):

`A=1.5 in * 1 in * 6 sides`

`A=9 in^2`

Piece 2 (plate)

`A=3 in * 6 in * 2 sides`

`A=36 in^2`

This piece isn't perfectly rectangular but this gives you an idea of the difference of surfaces. Also, we didn't add the little surface of the sides.
