Paulita is going to build a storage cube. Each edge is 14 inches .the wood cost $ 0.03 per square inch .use 0.03(5e2) where e is the edge length to evaluate for e =14

Answer 1

To find the cost of the wood, we need to calculate the surface area of the cube.

The surface area of a cube can be calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself and then multiplying by 6 (since a cube has 6 sides of equal length).

So, the surface area of the cube with edge length 14 inches is:

Surface Area = (14 inches) x (14 inches) x 6
Surface Area = 1176 square inches

Now, let's calculate the cost of the wood:

Cost = (0.03) x (1176)
Cost = 35.28 dollars

Therefore, the cost of the wood for the storage cube with an edge length of 14 inches is $35.28.
