need help on quiz please answer

Answer 1

b. $342

Explanation:

Base = Length * width

Base Area = 12 * 5

B = 180 square inches.

Perimeter of the prism will be :

P = 2 (length) + 2 (15)

P = 2 * 12 + 30

P = 54 inches

Height of the jewelry container will be :

X = Ph + 2B

X = 54 * 6 + 2 * 180

X = 684 square inches.

Total cost for paint of jewelry box is :

X * cost per inch

Total cost = 682 * $0.50

Total Cost = $342.
