Question

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

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To evaluate for e = 14, substitute 14 in for e in the expression 0.03(5e^2).

0.03(5(14^2)) = 0.03(5(196)) = 0.03(980)

0.03 * 980 = $<<0.03*980=29.400>>29.40

Therefore, for e = 14, the cost of the wood is $29.40.
