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
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.
