Construction paper cost $0.10 per square inch. How much will Susan spend to make this figure out of construction paper?

The will spend $33.60 (option C) to make the figure out of construction paper, if the construction paper cost $0.10 per square inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                 Construction paper cost $0.10 per square inch

                 Pyramid diagram with dimensions

Step:1

               Formula to calculate the area of pyramid,

                            ..............(1)

             Where,

                        l - Base length

                      w - Base width

                      h - Height of pyramid

             From given,

                       l = 12 inches

                     w = 12 inches

            For height of pyramid,

             By using Pythagorean theorem,

                                       .................(2)

              For right angle triangle,

                                             Base = = 6 inches

              Equation (2) becomes,

                                          Height = 5.2915 inches

                    h - 5.2915 inches

                Equation (1) becomes,

                          ≅ 336 square inches

                Where,

                         $0.10 per square inch ( from given)

                 Paper cost of total figure = 336 square inches

                                                             = 336 × 0.10

                                                             = $ 33.60

Result:

           The will spend $33.60 to make the figure out of construction paper, if the construction paper cost $0.10 per square inch.
