Find the radius and height of a cylindrical soda can with a volume of 256cm^3 that minimize the surface area.

b: compare your answer in part a to a real soda can, which has a volume of 256cm^3, a radius of 2.8 cm, and a height of 10.7 cm, to conclude that real soda cans do not seem to have an optimal design. then use the fact that real soda cans have a double thickness in their top and bottom surfaces to find the radius and height that minimizes the surface area of a real can (the surface area of the top and bottom are now twice their values in part a.

b: new radius=?

new height=?
