Question

A company is going to make a storage container with sheet steel walls. The container will be in the shape of a rectangular prism, as shown below. If the sheet steel costs $20 for each square meter, how much will the sheet steel cost in total?

Answer 1

Answer :-

The value of all the steel sheet is $2080

Solving steps:-

⇢ A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Where,

• Length = 6m
• Width or breath = 5m
• Height = 2m

⇢ A = 2((5)(6)+(2)(6)+(2)(5))

⇢ A = 2(52)

⇢ A = 104

We multiply 104 by $20

⇢ 104 × 20

⇢ 2080

Therefore,the sheet steel will cost $2080 in total

Hopes this helps,

Have a wonderful day ,:-)

Answer 2

= $2080

I calculated for the area of each face of the prism…
I ended up with 10+10+12+12+30+30= 104
Meaning there is a total of 104m2 of steel sheet… for every 1m2 there is 20$ so 104 times 20 gives
2080. It costs 2080 $
