Problem Description

mcglee1966 — 2013-05-02 10:31:04 UTC

Sam's Sculpture Shop creates custom made steel cube sculptures. Their catalogue offers 6 pre-made sculptures, as seen below, and includes the cost of the sculptures. All sculptures are priced based on the volume and the amount of paint used ( surface area). Work out the volume and surface area of each sculpture. Then, based on the prices given and the volumes/surface areas, work out the formula used by Sam to calculate the prices. Use that formula to work out the cost of your own sculpture design.
