Isoperimetric problems on n-sided prisms

In two-dimensional figure, the isoperimetric problem refers to finding two-dimensional figure that will produce the largest area among several shapes with equal perimeter. This research extends the isoperimetric problem to finding three-dimensional shapes with maximum volume among those having equal surface area. Our main goal is to solve the isoperimetric problem for prisms with regular n-sided base, prisms with irregular n-sided base and cylinder. In this research, the discussion is limited to prisms with regular and irregular bases. Our problem is equivalent with the problem of finding the smallest surface area of a given three-dimensional figure with the same volume. We will use a geometric approachin our proof. we will see the relationship between isoperimetric problems in two dimensional figures and isoperimetric problems in three-dimensional figure. We obtain the results of the isoperimetric problem from two prisms with regular n-sided bases and a prism with regular m-sided bases with n≤m, two prisms with regular n-sided bases and a prism with circular bases (cylinder), and two prisms with regular n-sided bases and a prism with irregular n-sided bases.
