First we need to find the area of the fence, since paint covers square feet and squared units refers to area.  The area of the fence is 26 x 7, which is 182 sq ft.  If one gallon of paint will cover 350 sq ft, your proportion will look like this, with gallons of paint on top and square feet on the bottom. \frac{1}{350} = \frac{x}{182}.  Cross multiply to get 350x = 182 and x = .52, just a bit over a half of a gallon of paint.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

This is a classical problem which has delighted calculus students down through the ages.

We first express the volume of the box as a function of x, the side of the square which is cut out of each corner.

The resulting box will have a base which is a square which all of whose sides will have length 12 - 2x. The height of the box will be x. Therefore, the volume will be

V = (12 - 2x)2x

= 144x - 48x2 + 4x3

Step-by-step explanation:
