Table 2 shows the length and mass of two marine mammals of different seal species.
| Seal | Length / m | Mass / kg |
|---|---|---|
| C | 1.60 | 90.0 |
| D | 2.50 | 160.0 |
The surface area of a seal is estimated using the following empirical formula:
Surface area in m2=0.11×length in m×mass in kg \text{Surface area in m}^2 = 0.11 \times \sqrt{\text{length in m} \times \text{mass in kg}} Surface area in m2=0.11×length in m×mass in kgThe volume of a seal is estimated using the following formula:
Volume in m3=mass in kg1020 \text{Volume in m}^3 = \frac{\text{mass in kg}}{1020} Volume in m3=1020mass in kgUsing suitable calculations, deduce which seal has the smaller surface area to volume ratio.
