2. An Aquarium glass: A new aquarium is designing a central tank. It will be either a cylinder or a square based prism that is in the center of the building, visible from all floors. If the volume of the tank must be 12,000 cubic feet and the height must be 30 feet, should the tank be a cylinder or a square based prism to minimize the glass needed to build the tank? Note that the top of the tank will be open and the bottom will be concrete.
