You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose you are designing a cardboard box that must have a volume of 34 cubic feet.
The cost of the cardboard is $9 per square ft.
How much will the material for each box cost?
:
If it is a square box the dimension (s) will be:
s = cube root(34)
s ~ 3.24 ft
:
Find the cost using the Surface area:
6(3.24^2) * $9 = $566.87
