Question

6. The total cost of materials to build the foam

pit is $1,285.20. What is the cost of materials
per square foot?

Answer 1

Cost of Material per square foot = $1.7

Explanation:

Given:

Length = 24

Width = 12

Height = 6.5

Find:

Cost of Material per square foot

Computation:

TSA of pit = 2[bh + hl] + lb

TSA of pit = 2[(12)(6.5) + (24)(6.5)] + (24)(12)

TSA of pit = 2[78+156] + 288

TSA of pit = 756 square foot

Cost of Material per square foot = 1,285.20 / 756

Cost of Material per square foot = $1.7
