The difference in cost to make the puzzles is $1.76 if Mr. Potter makes two types of wooden pyramid puzzles.
In geometry, it is defined as the shape having a square base with equal sides length and all the vertex of the square's joints at the top, which is perpendicular to the centre of the square.
We know,
The surface area of the pyramid
SA = area of the base + 4(area of each triangle)
SA of first pyramid;
Area of base = 5² = 25 square inches
Total Area of triangle =4×(0.5×7×5) = 70 square inches
Total Area of the pyramid = 25 + 70 = 95 square inches
Total cost of construction =$(0.16×95) =$15.2
SA of second pyramid:
Total Area = 6×6+2×6×4 = 84 square inches
Total cost of construction = $(0.16×84) = $13.44
The difference in cost =$(15.2 – 13.44) = $1.76
Thus, the difference in cost to make the puzzles is $1.76 if Mr. Potter makes two types of wooden pyramid puzzles.
