Jim would like to create a pencil holder with no top. he would like it to be 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide. he cannot decide if he would like to make it have a square base or a circular base. if the material costs $0.75 per square inch, hom much more would it cost to make a cylinder than a square prism?

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the surface area of the cylinder

The surface area of the cylinder is equal to

we have

----> the radius is half the diameter

assume

substitute

Find the cost

step 2

Find the surface area of the square prism

The surface area of the prism is equal to

we have

substitute

Find the cost

step 3

Find the difference of costs

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does
