It costs $3.63 more for the gold die than the gold plated die.
The volume of each half of the die is given by the formula
V=1/3s³.
This means the total volume is V = 2(1/3s³) = 2(1/3(2³)) = 16/3 = 5.33 mm³.
For the solid gold die, we know that it weighs 0.02g per mm³:
5.33(0.02) = 0.1066g
Gold costs $40.38 per gram: 40.38(0.1066) = $4.30
For the plastic die, plastic weighs 0.01 g per mm³: 0.01(5.33) = 0.0533g
Plastic costs $10 per gram: 0.0533(10) = 0.533 ≈ $0.54.
We also need to find the surface area, as it will be painted. Each face is an equilateral triangle; the area of a triangle is given by the formula
A = 1/2bh
We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height. The height will be one leg and 1/2 of the base will be the other; the slanted side will be the hypotenuse:
The area of the triangle would then be A = 1/2bh = 1/2(2)(√3) = √3. There are 8 such faces on the die, so the total surface area would be 8√3 = 13.86mm².
Paint costs $0.01 per mm²: 13.86(0.01) = 0.1386 ≈ $0.14
Together the cost for the plastic is 0.14+0.53 = $0.67.
The difference between it and the cost for the gold die is 4.30 - 0.67 = $3.63.
A. No because -2*-3=6 B. No because if you plug in 5 it will be 1-2(5) which equals -9 C. No because when you plug in -4 it will be 4+6(-4) which equals to -20
