T.
Gold can be hammered into extremely thin sheets calledgold leaf. An architect wants to cover a 100 ft x 82 ft ceilingwith gold leaf that is five-millionths of an inch thick. Thedensity of gold is 19.32 g/cm3, and gold costs $1654 per troyounce (1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g). How much will itcost the architect to buy the necessary gold?
