Cost per in³ for Rectangular Prism:
$0.07 / 154 in³ = $0.00045 per in³
Cost per in³ for Rectangular Pyramid:
$0.07 / 156 in³ = $0.00045 per in³
Cost per in³ for Cylinder:
$0.07 / 150.8 in³ = $0.00046 per in³
Therefore, the cost of manufacturing each cereal box is approximately $0.00045 to $0.00046 per cubic inch, depending on the shape of the box.

Rectangular Prism:
Volume:
V = 7 in x 11 in x 2 in
V = 154 cubic inches
Surface Area:
SA = 2(7 in x 2 in) + 2(7 in x 11 in) + 2(2 in x 11 in)
SA = 28 in² + 154 in² + 44 in²
SA = 226 in²
Rectangular Pyramid:
Volume:
6 × 6 = 36 sq in
Volume = (1/3) × 36 sq in × 13 in = 156 cubic inches
Surface Area:
Area of each triangular face = (1/2) × 6 in × 13.3 in = 39.9 sq in
Surface area = (4 × 39.9 sq in) + 36 sq in = 174.6 sq in
Cylinder:
Volume:
πr^2h
= π(2)^2(12)
= 4π(12)
= 48π
≈ 150.8 cubic inches
Surface Area:
2πr^2 + 2πrh
= 2π(2)^2 + 2π(2)(12)
= 8π + 48π
= 56π
≈ 175.9 square inches

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
to get the cost of a box, multiply the surface area by 7¢ per in^2
the volume of cardboard is not involved!

I apologize for the previous mistake.
The cost of manufacturing each cereal box can be found by multiplying the surface area by $0.07 per square inch.
For the rectangular prism, SA = 226 in² and the cost of manufacturing each cereal box is:
226 in² x $0.07/in² = $15.82 per box
For the rectangular pyramid, SA = 174.6 in² and the cost of manufacturing each cereal box is:
174.6 in² x $0.07/in² = $12.22 per box
For the cylinder, SA ≈ 175.9 in² and the cost of manufacturing each cereal box is:
175.9 in² x $0.07/in² = $12.32 per box
Therefore, the cost of manufacturing each cereal box varies depending on the shape of the box - from approximately $12.22 to $15.82 per box.
