Problem

Your company has just developed a new material that can be used in the production of 20 ounce containers for liquids that that is safe and biodegradable. You have been asked to determine the best "shape" for containers - in other words, can you determine which containers (regular prisms or cylinder) hold 20 ounces but can be produced at the best price. The cost to produce the base and top of a container is about 0.3 cents per square centimeter that is $0.003 per square centimeter. The cost to produce the sides of each container is about 0.2 cents per square centimeter or $0.002 per square centimeter.

Requirements:

• At most 3 FULL pages, typed, double-spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins (not including figures).

• Use an equation editor for all of your equations.

• Include labeled figures on a separate page at the end and make sure to reference to them in your paper to clarify any variables or explanation.

• No grammatical, punctuation, or spelling errors. Make sure it is a professional paper.
