To calculate the cost of building the storage table, we first need to calculate the surface area of the table, which is the sum of the areas of each of the 6 sides.
The table has the following dimensions:
- Top and bottom sides: 40 cm by 120 cm = 4800 square cm each
- Side 1: 40 cm by 60 cm = 2400 square cm
- Side 2: 40 cm by 60 cm = 2400 square cm
- Side 3: 120 cm by 60 cm = 7200 square cm
- Side 4: 120 cm by 60 cm = 7200 square cm
- Cover: 40 cm by 50 cm = 2000 square cm
Total surface area = 2(4800) + 2(2400) + 2(7200) + 2000 = 19200 + 4800 + 14400 + 2000 = 40400 square cm
If it costs a dollar for every 100 square centimeters of wood, then the cost of building the storage table will be:
Cost = 40400 / 100 = 404 dollars
Therefore, it will cost Marcus $404 to build the wood storage table for his mother.
Marcus wants to build a storage table with a cover to put gardening tools in for his mother If would cost a dollar for a hundred square centimeters of wood how much will it cost Marcus to build a wood storage table with measurements of 40 cm 120 cm 60 cm and 50 cm
