### Problem 3

Suppose you have 2 pieces of ice with the same volume but in different shapes. If one of the pieces has a greater surface area than the other, it will cool a beverage faster than the ice with less surface area.

1. Describe 2 different pieces of ice that have the same volume, but have different surface areas.
2. Which piece of ice will cool a beverage faster?
