The least amount of money that should be budgeted to paint the monument is $1692.
<h3>Least amount of money that should be budgeted</h3>
First step
Using Pythagorean theorem to find the surface area
Since POR is a right triangle
Hence:
PO=20
BR=12
OR=12
PR=√20²+12²
PR=400+144
PR=544
Area of PBC=1/2×24×√544
Area of PBC=12√544
Lateral surface area=4×12√544
Lateral surface area=48√544
Lateral surface area=1119.54²ft
Second step
Since regular paint is 2 coats 200 sq. ft per gallon
Hence:
Number of gallons=1119.54×2/200
Number of gallons= 11.2 gallons
11.2×35= 392
1119.54/80=13 gallons
13×100 =1300
Last step
Least amount=392+1300
Least amount= $1692
Therefore the least amount of money that should be budgeted to paint the monument is $1692.
