A candy company has hired you as their new production manager. Your job is to
choose the form of packaging for a new product from the five choices below. The candy
is animal gummies. The package must hold between 45 and 50 cubic inches (roughly 3
cups of space). The cost of the plastic for the packaging is $0.002 per square inch.

The company would really like the container to be in the shape of Noah’s Ark (for
reference, Noah's instructions are given to him by God (Genesis 6:14–16): the ark is to
be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. 1 cubit = 1.5 feet.). To simplify
things we are assuming the arc is the shape of a rectangular prism.
You also need to include a paragraph that answers the following questions:
 Do all of the solids hold between 45 and 50 cubic inches?
 Which solid is the most cost efficient (the packaging with the smallest materials
cost that holds between 45 and 50 cubic inches)?
 Would the Ark be most cost efficient solid for packaging? Why or why not?
 Which solid would you recommend using? Why?
