Paulita is going to build a storage cube. Each edge is 14 inches. The wood costs 0.03 per square inch. Use 0.03(5esquared) where e is the edge length, to evaluate for e = 14
To evaluate the expression for e = 14, we substitute 14 into the expression:
0.03(5e^2) = 0.03(5(14)^2) = 0.03(5(196)) = 0.03(980) = <<0.03*980=29.4>>29.4.
Therefore, when e = 14, the expression evaluates to 29.4.
