B. $$$\frac{8\pi}{1000}$$ C.$$$\frac{16\pi}{1000}$$

D. $$$\frac{16\pi}{100}$$ E.$$$16\pi$$

A square of area 16 $$m^2$$ is made from a metal wire of a thickness of 8mm. What is the approximate total cost of the metal used? (Cost of metal is $6.25 per $$m^3$$ ) A.$ \frac{16 $$\pi$$ }{10000}

B. $\frac{8 $$\pi$$ }{1000} C.$ \frac{16 $$\pi$$ }{1000}

D. $\frac{16 $$\pi$$ }{100} E.$ 16 $$\pi$$

perimeter of the square = length of the wire = 4*4=16
volume of wire = volume of cylinder with h=16m and r = 4 mm = 0.004 m
v = pi (0.004)^2 * 16 = pi * 16000000/16 = pi*1000000 m^3
price = pi * 1000000/6.25 = pi * 160000 = A

Bunuel is possible to format answer choices ?
