Summary:  You are tasked with designing a bridge.  You must also build a scale model  that will hold at least  25 lbs.  To build this model you have to spend less than $1.0 million.  Use this worksheet to compute the money needed to build your design.  It is best to find that you spend too much before you built it, this way you can modify your design to buy less materials.  

Your bridge has:  (check which applies)

1.  For each bridge part checked above, you must:

Do all this math on the reverse side, be neat and accurate.  If you use a calculator, 1/4 = 0.25.  Enter your final figures here:

           top  ______ inches @ $5,000 + ____ gussets @$100 =$ ____________

    bottom   ______ inches @ $5,000 + ____ gussets @$100 =$_____________

                                                                                 total $ _____________    

If your tally is over $1.0 million, you must modify, or change your design to lower the price tag.  This means you need to modify your rough sketch and compute a new budget worksheet.
