Oddly Shaped Containers and The Cost of Producing Them

by Matthew Enders

Submitted : Fall 2020

This project uses surface area formulas in order to evaluate the raw material cost of an oddly shaped container. This container can be represented by 3 separate formulas that, when revolved around the x-axis, create the 3 dimensional shape that is the container. This surface area is then used to calculate the amount of material needed, which in turn can be used to find the cost of said materials.
