To calculate the cost of manufacturing the cereal box, we first need to find the surface area of the rectangular prism.
The surface area of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given:
Length (l) = 6 inches
Width (w) = 3 inches
Height (h) = 4 inches
Surface Area = 2(6*3) + 2(6*4) + 2(3*4)
Surface Area = 2(18) + 2(24) + 2(12)
Surface Area = 36 + 48 + 24
Surface Area = 108 square inches
Now, we can calculate the cost of manufacturing the cereal box:
Cost = Surface Area * Cost per square inch
Cost = 108 * $0.01
Cost = $1.08
Therefore, the cost of manufacturing the cereal box is $1.08.

The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula:
Surface Area = 4πr^2
Given:
Radius (r) = 3.7 inches
Surface Area = 4π(3.7)^2
Surface Area ≈ 4*3.14*(13.69)
Surface Area ≈ 4* 3.14 * 13.69
Surface Area ≈ 171.51 square inches
Rounded to the nearest square inch, the surface area of the sphere is 172 square inches.
