Pringle Can


Pringles
R=1.5 in
H=10.5 in
V=74.1 in
SA=113 in

New container- square prism
W=3 in
L=3 in
H=10.5 in
V=94.5 in
Sa=144 in

The new container would not be as good. It would cost more money for the material. The cylinder is a lot less expensive. A oval cylinder would be even cheaper. But for getting peoples hands to fit the square prism is the best option.

This process is important for those people who work in making containers. They need to know how to make something cheap and efficient. The pringles people did a pretty good job. Another person is anyone. If someone wants to fit something into a box, this skill would be handy.
