So far this list has been proving my stupidity one after the otherI dont think I solved anything corectly until now. . Fun stil regardless. Thank you very much.

Wish I could have seen it.

[@mrkenzivedran]

This cylinder can't exist in the real world. In any case, the problem's still a fun game with basic calculus.

[@anasabdulla5205]

i have a doubt....generally we are taking the volume is the minimum for minimum material.but here we are taking surface area is minimum in this case.why ...please help me?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

It doesn't matter if it is the volume, or cost, or surface area or any other function. Any quadratic or cubic equation potentially has a maximum and a minimum.

[@ccuuttww]

well minimum surface mean u need less materials to build
and in this case the function is concave so there's no local or global minimum problem
