In this task, students are required to determine the most suitable water tank by:

  1. Maximizing capacity: Selecting the tank with the largest possible volume.
  2. Minimizing material costs: Evaluating the surface area of the tank to ensure the material required is cost-effective.

Students are encouraged to use technology, including the Conversion Assistant on the TI-Nspire, to perform calculations and analyze their options. They must justify their final decision by presenting their calculations and explaining how their choice meets the initial conditions.
