To find the cost of the wood, we need to calculate the surface area of the cube. Since a cube has 6 equal square faces, we can find the surface area by multiplying the length of one edge by itself and then multiplying by 6.
Surface area = (edge length)^2 * 6
For e = 14, the surface area would be (14)^2 * 6 = 1176 square inches.
Now, we can calculate the cost of the wood by multiplying the surface area by the cost per square inch.
Cost of wood = Surface area * Cost per square inch = 1176 * 0.03 = $35.28
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the given options. The correct cost of the wood for a storage cube with 14-inch edges would be $35.28.
Paulita is going to build a storage cube. Each edge is 14 inches. The wood costs $0.03 per square inch. Use 0.03 (5e2). Where e is the edge length, to evaluate for e=14. $4.41, $29.40,$147.00, or $4.20
